The EndFund is the only private philanthropic initiative solely dedicated to ending the five most common neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). River blindness (also known as onchocerciasis) is the world's fourth leading cause of preventable blindness and can also cause painful itching and skin lesions. The disease is caused by a parasitic worm, transmitted by the bite of a black fly that lives and breeds in fast-flowing rivers and streams.
