DefeatDD is sunsetting in December 2025.

Since 2010, we’ve been working to raise awareness of the burden of diarrheal disease and increase investment in solutions. As we prepare to sunset PATH’s DefeatDD Initiative at the end of December 2025, we celebrate the remarkable progress made over the past 15 years with our fellow advocates, partners, governments, and collaborators.

Since 2000, child deaths from diarrhea have fallen by more than 70 percent, a number that makes us flush with pride—and confident in the momentum ahead.

While this site will no longer be updated after December 31, 2025, we hope you will continue to raise your voice. We invite you to stay engaged with the amazing organizations we’ve had an opportunity to collaborate with over the years, including but not limited to:
