Our Achievements

Deworming activities targeting Schistosomiasis and Soil-transmitted Helminths:
Over the last 5 years, and in partnership with the Ministry of Health, over 70,000 individuals in most at risk areas were dewormed annually in our annual Mass Drug Administration programs targeting Schistosomiasis and Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH), conducted by three key NTD projects in western Kenya. Health education and awareness campaigns were also embedded in the deworming activities, and are a continuous activity.
