Did you know ❓ River blindness (onchocerciasis) is caused by repeated bites from infected blackflies. Over time, this can lead to intense itching, skin damage, and even vision loss. Take a closer look and learn about the cause, symptoms, and treatment. #StampOutOncho #BeatNTDs

Over 2.4 billion people worldwide need rehabilitation services, yet many lack access. Early intervention—especially in childhood, leads to better lifelong outcomes. It’s time to prioritize rehabilitation in global health planning. #HealthForAll #LeaveNoOneBehind

Did you know that over 200,000 babies are born with clubfoot each year? That’s roughly 1 in every 800 births around the world . With early diagnosis and treatment, these children can grow up able to walk, run, and thrive. #ClubfootAwareness #WorldClubfootDay

Born with clubfoot, Lemuel’s early life was filled with uncertainty. But now, at nearly 3, he runs, plays & walks confidently, something his mother once feared was impossible. Thanks to CBM Christian Blind Mission support, one more child walks into a brighter future. #ClubfootAwareness

When Nivon was born with clubfoot, his mother was overwhelmed by fear and stigma. At just 4 months, he began treatment through the Ponseti method—thanks to care from CBM Christian Blind Mission. Now at 1½, he’s walking with straight feet. Early intervention changed everything #WorldClubfootDay

Against common belief, treating clubfoot doesn't require expensive braces. In many low- and middle-income countries, affordable solutions like the Steenbeek brace help children walk confidently. Proving that effective care can be both accessible and affordable #ClubfootAwareness
