Throughout March and April, all donations made to Parasites Without Borders will be matched by PWB and donated to the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH). These donations will help support our shared commitment to reducing the worldwide burden of tropical diseases and improving global health, equity, and social justice.
