Mission

La Isla Network evolved from La Isla Foundation in 2016. The organization's name comes from a community in Nicaragua where so many men have died of CKDu that locals call it 'La Isla de Viudas,' or The Island of Widows. We are generating, supporting, and executing evidence-driven solutions to end the fatal CKDu epidemic by understanding the scale and impact of the disease and its causes. In the process, we are improving working conditions and supporting the creation and enforcement of policies required to protect those affected. We do this by: 1. Identifying who are affected and where via the DEGREE Initiative. This initiative facilitates prevalence studies to identify and compare CKDu occurrence worldwide and is also helping to build the map to understand what regions, economic sectors and populations are impacted. 2. Intervening using the precautionary principle. Today we are working with the sugar industry to improve work practices to protect health, while also maintaining efficiency the Adelante Initiative. 3. Researching the underlying causes by supporting our colleagues in conducting, managing and raising funds for research initiatives with researchers from leading institutions like London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Lund University, Stanford University and others. 4.Communicating to the general public and important actors in supply chains while pushing for data-driven policy on the public and private level. We make sure no one forgets the stories of those affected via award-winning original content and coordination with leading journalists.
