In 2025, we crossed an important milestone:
ten years dedicated to addressing the global treatment gap. ROW Foundation was launched in 2015, making its first grant in June of that year.

Ten years later, ROW has worked with 95 partners in 41 countries. The scope of our partnerships has expanded to include grants of anti-seizure medication, community- and school-based epilepsy education, health worker training in epilepsy care, engagement of community health workers to fight stigma, and establishment of diagnostic clinics.

Although there's much work to be done, we're proud to play a role in progress being made. We remain committed to fighting epilepsy treatment and knowledge gaps. Enjoy this 10-year lookback on what ROW and its partners have accomplished together!
