Our Purpose

A Mission for Awareness

Today October 5th, we join the rest of the world to mark World Meningitis Day which helps to raise awareness about meningitis. Meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges (the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord). It is a medical emergency that is often mistaken for other diseases such as malaria, the flu, or even Covid-19. It can be fatal within a few hours and at best, may cause lifelong disability. This year’s theme revolves around ways in which we can “Take Action”!

Join the efforts and mission of The Meningitis Foundation of America, 501c3 meningitis non-profit charity, in supporting sufferers of meningitis and their families.
