Working to Eradicate Guinea Worm Disease

Working to eradicate Guinea worm disease (GWD)

As part of our mission to reduce or eliminate neglected diseases, we support The Carter Center’s incredible efforts to assist national Guinea Worm Eradication Programs (GWEPs) to stop transmission of GWD--a disabling parasitic illness that is the result of drinking unsafe water.
