Who We Are

Chagas Action Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating Chagas disease through awareness, early detection, and strategic healthcare partnerships.

We exist to bring visibility to a disease that too often goes unnoticed—impacting millions of people across the globe, many of whom are unaware they are infected until serious health complications arise.

Our mission is simple but urgent:
to educate communities, expand access to early screening, and help connect individuals to life-saving care.

Our Mission

To fight Chagas disease by:

  • Educating communities at risk

  • Supporting early detection and screening initiatives

  • Partnering with healthcare leaders and organizations

  • Driving measurable, life-saving impact

Our Vision

We envision a world where Chagas disease is no longer overlooked—
where awareness leads to early diagnosis, and early diagnosis leads to better outcomes and saved lives.

Why This Matters

Chagas disease affects an estimated 6–7 million people worldwide, primarily in Latin America, but increasingly within the United States and other regions.

It is often called a “silent disease” because symptoms may not appear for years. By the time it is detected, it can lead to severe and irreversible heart complications.

The reality is:

  • Millions are living with Chagas disease unknowingly

  • Early detection is limited in underserved communities

  • Access to care remains inconsistent

This is where we step in.

What We Do

Chagas Action Alliance focuses on bridging the critical gaps between awareness, diagnosis, and treatment.

🔹 Education & Awareness

We develop and support initiatives that inform communities about Chagas disease—how it spreads, how to prevent it, and why early detection matters.

🔹 Early Detection Support

We advocate for and help fund screening efforts that allow individuals to be diagnosed before the disease progresses.

🔹 Healthcare Partnerships

We collaborate with healthcare providers, organizations, and global partners to expand access to treatment and care.

🔹 Impact-Driven Programs

We are committed to measurable outcomes—ensuring that every initiative contributes to real, trackable progress.
