United Front Against Riverblindness (UFAR)

UFAR is an African-inspired, US-based nonprofit charitable organization. Its primary mission is to participate and partnership with other organizations in the eradication of onchocerciasis, also commonly known as riverblindness, a major public health problem in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and throughout much of Africa, Latin America, and Yemen and they need our help especially in the remote regions of the Congo.

A comprehensive overview of UFAR's origin, goals and activities can be found in the pages at:

Please join in helping raise awareness as well as the money needed to eradicate this lesser known but devastating problem in Africa.
