The image features a purple background with the text "Wishing you a joyful Easter." Below, a message reads, "We stand with communities affected by neglected tropical diseases, because hope should reach everyone." At the bottom, there is an illustration of carrots and Easter eggs. The Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases logo is in the top right corner.
Hope is not a luxury. 🌸
This Easter, we stand with 1.45 billion people living with #NTDs and we won’t stop until every community is reached. #BeatNTDs #UniteActEliminate
