A concert for the birthday
Insert in Events the day September 16, 2009
For its birthday, fifteen years, the Ivo de Carneri Foundation organizes an evening dedicated to African music with the group Sinafrica, “Music from Africa – not to forget the diseases of poverty”. The event will allow to present the Foundation’s activities in the prevention and treatment of infectious and parasitic diseases and to raise funds for projects. The evening will be in Milan on October 21, at the 9.00 p.m., at the Leonardo da Vinci Theatre, Via Ampère 1. It’s open to anyone wishing to support the Foundation’s activities and to know the world of African culture.
The decision to celebrate fifteen years of activities with the music of the African continent represents the will to draw attention to this continent and the neglected tropical diseases, obstacles to the future of populations and countries. The neglected tropical diseases are infectious and parasitic diseases that mark the lives of over one billion people worldwide, causing suffering and disability. For many of these diseases, there are drugs, available and at affordable cost. The neglected tropical diseases affecting the poorest countries and peoples of the world, a burden not only on the population’s health but also on the economic and social development.
Since its birth, the commitment of the Ivo de Carneri Foundation is to promote projects on these diseases of poverty, with international cooperation, training and research. This includes the construction in Africa of the Public Health Laboratory Ivo de Carneri, for diagnosis and research on endemic diseases.

The Ivo de Carneri Foundation at the Giro d’Italia
Insert in Events the day May 8, 2009
Between May 9th and 31th, the Ivo de Carneri Foundation will follow the Giro d’Italia from Venice to Rome. For the 100 years of the bicycle race (the first race dates back in May 1909), the Giro del Centenario (centenary ride) has been organized together with the Giro della solidarietà (solidarity ride), with the presence of some associations, among which the Ivo de Carneri Foundation. At the end of every single race two stands will be set up in the welcome area to host different associations.
The Ivo de Carneri Foundation, which this year celebrates the 15th anniversary, is committed in research, training and treatment of parasitic and infectious diseases in developing countries. These diseases are born in poor settings and threaten the life and the future of families and entire countries. Neglected tropical diseases, which include parasitic diseases, afflict the life of one sixth of the world population, a billion of people. Yet, a lot of these diseases could disappeare with a small economic commitment: 50 cent/year/person is enough to treat seven diseases (onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, trachoma and three soil transmitted helminthiasis). Many of these diseases were also present in the developed world, including Italy. They disappeared with the improvement of sanitation.
Since years the Ivo de Carneri Foundation supports projects on neglected tropical diseases, including the construction in Africa of the Public Health Laboratory Ivo de Carneri for the diagnosis and the research on neglected tropical diseases. Built on the island of Pemba (Zanzibar archipelago, Tanzania), the Laboratory has been active since 2000 and integrated into the local health system.
For a lot of neglected tropical diseases drugs exist and the cost of therapy is affordable: the possibility to eliminate them also from developing countries is a reality.
