Building on recent successes in Uganda and Sudan, The Carter Center and partners step up the battle against river blindness disease resolving not just to control it, but to completely eliminate it from six Latin American and four African countries where the Center and the national programs are working against the disease. 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.
