The Noma Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to combating the disease known as noma, which primarily affects children in impoverished regions. Noma is a severe and often fatal infection that can lead to disfigurement and loss of facial tissue. The foundation focuses on prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation for affected individuals, aiming to raise awareness about this neglected disease. Founded in 2008, the Noma Foundation collaborates with local communities, healthcare providers, and international organizations to provide medical care and support. Their initiatives include training healthcare workers, offering surgical interventions, and promoting hygiene and nutrition to prevent the disease's onset.
