Early detection of several skin-related neglected tropical diseases (skin NTDs)-including leprosy, Buruli ulcer, yaws, and scabies- may be achieved through school surveys, but such an approach has seldom been tested systematically on a large scale in endemic countries. Additionally, a better understanding of the spectrum of skin diseases and the at-risk populations to be encountered during such surveys is necessary to facilitate the process.

Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation (SMHF) was established in 1974, with Mr. Ryoichi Sasakawa, founder and first chairman of the Nippon Foundation (TNF) as President, and Professor Morizo Ishidate, father of chemotherapy of Hansen''s Disease (HD) in Japan, as chair. The principal objective of SMHF is to eliminate HD, a disease which has struck fear into human beings for millennia and stigmatized those it touched. SMHF approaches HD not only as a public health problem but also as a social and human issue. Apart from HD, the work of SMHF covers many of issues within the realm of basic health needs. In doing so SMHF has always respected the ownership by the people, of their own health related needs. SMHF believes in sharing resources and knowledge, rather than creating a situation in which the ''haves'' give to the ''have-nots''. Through this we would like to share with you the joy of working together across national borders for the benefit of people in need. Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation provides grants to projects implemented by non-profit organizations based outside of Japan. Funding Areas: Hansen''s disease (HD), Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), and Palliative Care (For Japan based Applicants Only)
