Four hundred million school-age children are infected with parasitic worms worldwide, which both damage their health and limit their access to education. Yet studies prove that deworming is the most cost-effective way of increasing education. Doing just that, Deworm the World is helping to improve children’s health and education by massively expanding deworming initiatives. It has helped establish programs that have dewormed millions of children in Kenya, and over a million in Andhra Pradesh, India. This will undoubtedly have a strong impact on their educational attainment.
Such a simple and inexpensive solution to a huge problem!
