Organization Description:
1) SHED is a Pakistan based organization that advocates, and raises awareness on TB. It was created in 2006 to fight the spread of TB.
2) We are interested in TB because we've seen a drastic increase in this disease among children in Pakistan and many people are ignorant about the disease.
3) We are trying to make people open up and talk when they are ill, make them understand that it is curable and it is not a shameful disease. In a nutshell, we are informing and educating the general public on Tb as a whole and how to prevent it.
