Why supporting us?

As the very rare survivors, we see it in our duty to explain that noma can result in unimaginable suffering. We know that empowering those who have experienced the disease is one of the keys to finally eradicating it.

We founded Elysium to share our experience and help people realise that even if the acute phase of noma lasts a very short time, the consequences of it are a lifelong journey for survivors like us. During the onset of the disease, 90% of the people affected die but for the 10% who survive, the aftermath is a burden.

What do we do?

We support noma survivors to overcome challenges directly and indirectly related to the aftermath of the disease. We amplify their voices locally and globally, encourage them in their personal and professional projects and advocate for governments, humanitarian organisations, intergovernmental agencies and researchers to adopt a holistic approach that encompasses mental health.

At Elysium, we are passionate about our cause and dedicated to making a difference in the world, but we cannot do it alone. Your support is critical in helping us achieve our goals and build a better future for those impacted by noma. We, as noma survivors, want to express that we are not in pursuit of pity, sympathy, or sorrowful emotions. Our collective hope is to inspire others with our resilience, while striving for recognition and support to overcome our obstacles.
