The U.S. Government is undertaking an evaluation of all foreign assistance programs. During this evaluation, many local TB community organizations and survivor networks are unable to access funding and are unable to work.
In this context, the Stop TB Partnership, in collaboration with TB-affected communities, is launching the ‘Keep the Lights On’ campaign.
This urgent fundraising initiative aims to sustain TB survivor networks and local community organizations previously supported by the Challenge Facility for Civil Society and country-level Stop TB Partnership platform grants. These groups now face a crisis due to the unexpected funding halt.
For full details about the campaign, why it matters and how you can help, click here (in English) and here (in French).
