Support Elysium and survivors:
together we can make a difference


Millions of children around the world are at risk of developing the painful and disfiguring disease known as noma. This devastating disease is caused by extreme malnutrition and lack of access to basic medical care.

As the very rare survivors, we see it in our duty to explain that it can result in unimaginable suffering and death. The exact number of children affected by noma is difficult to determine due to a lack of data and under-reporting, but the urgency of the situation cannot be overstated.

With your help, we can make a difference in the fight against noma. By providing critical resources and support those who need it most, we can help to prevent and treat this devastating disease, and improve the quality of life of those affected by it. Every donation counts in the fight against noma, and we urge you to join us in this urgent and important cause.

We do it by raising awareness about the disease and the long-term challenges faced by survivors, supporting people affected and their communities beyond the acute phase of the disease and encouraging organizations and researchers to adopt a holistic approach.

We accept donations in CHF, EUR, USD, GBP and CAD. Please choose your preferred curency.

Still, why donate?

We founded Elysium to share our experience and help people realise that even if the acute phase of noma lasts a very short time, the consequences of it are a lifelong journey for survivors like us. During the onset of the disease, 90% of the people affected die but for the 10% who survive, the aftermath is a burden.

At Elysium, we are passionate about our cause and dedicated to making a difference in the world, but we cannot do it alone. Your support is critical in helping us achieve our goals and build a better future for those impacted by noma.

We, as noma survivors, want to express that we are not in pursuit of pity, sympathy, or sorrowful emotions. Our collective hope is to inspire others with our resilience, while striving for recognition and support to overcome our obstacles. Join us in empowering dreams and sculpting a future filled with promise. Your contribution is the key to unlocking vast potential, inspiring a wave of positive change that propels survivors towards achieving their fullest aspirations.
