To celebrate 10 years of impact, the END Fund engaged artist and activist Aïda Muluneh to create a body of work with photographers from six countries where The END Fund operates. This partnership gave birth to Reframing Neglect, a collection that highlights the dire need to end neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

In breathtakingly bold colors, Reframing Neglect dissects social issues and challenges western representations of Africa by creating a powerful interpretation of the impact of NTDs on gender equity, maternal health, mobility and access to resources.

Alongside Aïda Muluneh (Ethiopia), the project features works by Ala Kheir (Sudan), John Kalapo (Mali), Meseret Argaw (Ethiopia), Mustafa Saeed (Somalia), Omoregie Osakpolor (Nigeria), and Sarah Waiswa (Uganda). Through fine art and documentary photography, the collection works to reframe how we tell stories about people impacted by NTDs and emphasizes the central message that people afflicted by NTDs have too long been ignored by local and international systems.

This exhibition has been showcased on three occasions. The first was at the United Nations Secretariat Building in New York, from January 30 – February 10 2023, in partnership with the World Health Organization. The second was at The Africa Center in East Harlem, from August 5 – September 3, 2023, in partnership with The Africa Center. The latest exhibition was at the UN Headquarters in New York, from January 17 – March 27, 2024.
