Vandaag in het AD, een brede oproep: Nederland is geen eiland.

Blijf staan voor vrijheid, solidariteit en rechtvaardigheid. Bezuinig niet op steun voor mensen die dat het hardst nodig hebben.

Investing in the fight against malaria not only saves lives – it strengthens global health systems. A fully funded #GlobalFund is our best defense.
