Securing stability today for a stronger tomorrow

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most pressing public health challenges in Vietnam. Despite progress, an estimated 40% of TB cases continue to go undetected or untreated, leaving many families vulnerable and communities at risk. In addition, drug-resistant TB persists as a major concern, requiring complex and costly treatment. These challenges remind us why sustainable, long-term funding is critical for effective TB prevention and care.

With your support, our endowment fund is gradually taking shape as a stable financial foundation for Freundeskreis für Internationale Tuberkulosehilfe e.V.  (FIT). Although we are still at the early stage of fundraising, each contribution brings us closer to building resilience against shifting donor priorities and funding cycles. Your generosity is helping us ensure that FIT can continue to:

  • Strengthen community-based TB screening and treatment for hard-to-reach populations,
  • Train and equip local health workers to improve diagnosis and care,
  • Integrate modern technologies into TB detection and monitoring, and
  • Contribute to global research and advocacy aimed at ending TB by 2035.

Every dollar invested in the endowment is more than a donation. It allows us to plan strategically, innovate confidently, and respond quickly to the evolving health needs of vulnerable communities.

We are deeply grateful for your trust and support in this journey. Together, we are not just fighting TB today, but also building the foundation for healthier generations to come.

Stay connected with us through our websiteFacebook, or YouTube for stories and updates from our work on the ground.

With gratitude,

The FIT Team
