Volunteers Unite to Eliminate LF

Carter Center-supported health workers, like Maria Fernanda, go door to door in rural communities of the Dominican Republic providing information about lymphatic filariasis, a disabling mosquito-borne disease, and the medicines to prevent it.

The Carter Center's Hispaniola Initiative works with the ministries of health in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to accelerate the elimination of malaria and lymphatic filariasis from the countries' shared island, Haiti , by 2020.

Founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter in partnership with Emory University, The Carter Center is committed to advancing human rights and alleviating unnecessary human suffering. The Center wages peace, fights disease, and builds hope worldwide.
