Light up a landmark
To celebrate World Encephalitis Day 2024, we need your help to turn the world red by lighting up as many landmarks as possible around the globe.
We currently have 238 landmarks and buildings across 29 countries that have agreed to go red on Thursday, 22nd February, and help us raise awareness.
