Our Impact

World Lung Foundation was established in 2004 to reverse the global epidemic of lung disease, which kills 10 million people each year. Our efforts are focused in low- and middle-income countries, where lung diseases take their greatest toll. Although we are a relatively young organization, we are already providing groundbreaking programs and services that result in improved capacity to fight all forms of lung disease.

Headquartered in New York City, with staff and consultants based around the world, WLF currently has a team of almost 30 and a $49.7 million annual program budget. As we continue to broaden our reach, we will leverage existing relationships and create new partnerships to meet emerging challenges. Expanding local capacity will ensure the sustainability of programs that will improve lung heath and save lives in the developing world for years to come.
