From Suffering to Hope: a collection of 10 poems on Neglected Tropical Diseases
Obed Imbahafi
This is a collection of ten powerful poems that
explore the fight against neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The first three poems are about suffering and the remaining seven brings hope. Each poem brings a unique perspective to the struggle against NTDs and the hope and resilience of those affected by these diseases. Through vivid imagery and powerful language, the poems highlight the challenges of living with NTDs, the importance of taking action to prevent and treat them, and the
progress that has been made in the fight against these diseases.
This collection is a call to action for individuals,
communities, and governments to work together to break the chains of neglect and build a healthier, more equitable world.
