Footwork

The International Podoconiosis Initiative

Donate
Footwork International is a project of the US-based Social Good Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity. 

We bring together public and private partners to prevent and treat podoconiosis, champion its inclusion in wider Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) programmes, and collaborate with those tackling other foot-related diseases.

Our shared goal is to eliminate podoconiosis.
