These diseases blind, maim and disfigure their victims, keeping children out of school, adults out of work, and trapping families in poverty. Yet most are preventable or treatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2012,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.end.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">the End Fund&nbsp;<\/a>is a philanthropic initiative dedicated to ending five of the most common NTDs. A pooled fund, it invests money in support of treatment and surgeries, as well as to train health workers, educate communities and fast-track progress towards disease elimination goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ellen Agler is the End Fund&#8217;s founding CEO. She&#8217;s a&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/speakers\/ellen_agler\" target=\"_blank\">TED speaker,<\/a>&nbsp;a published author, and she serves on the World Economic Forum&#8217;s Global Health Security Advisory Board. In 2019, Ellen was named by Fortune magazine as one of the world&#8217;s 50 greatest leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this wide-ranging conversation, Ellen looks back at a decade of the End Fund\u2019s work, and opens up about the challenges involved in last-mile disease eradication, the value of pooled giving, and activist philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the End Fund, visit their&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.end.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>&nbsp;or find them on social media at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheENDFund\" target=\"_blank\">@TheENDFund<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Impact Room is brought to you by Philanthropy Age and Maysa Jalbout.
