Working to “END” neglected tropical diseases in our lifetime

Olam – comprising Olam Food Ingredients (OFI) and Olam Global Agri (OGA) – has partnered with The END Fund – the only private philanthropic initiative solely dedicated to ending the most common NTDs – to improve the lives of people affected by these diseases. Together, we have been working across Olam's various supply chains in Africa - particularly cashew, as well as rice, grains, and other ingredients – to solve the burden of these diseases.
