Mentor Initiative – Syria
Overview
The MENTOR Initiative works with the world's most vulnerable and hard to reach communities to reduce death and suffering from tropical diseases. The MENTOR Initiative has been supporting the control of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) and Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) in Northern Syria since 2013.
The Syrian civil war, which began in 2011, has created the perfect environment for the proliferation of leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease that is transmitted by sand flies. While leishmaniasis has historically been endemic in the country, case numbers have exploded in the years since the Syrian conflict began.
