Dishon needs Love & Medical Attention! He is an intelligent man who lives a low life now with no home, wife or career. Jiggers alongside other catalysts brought him down. Like all others we've met, defeated, he needed a touch of love and the scalpel moved through the cracks of his feet and love dug out the many jiggers that were feasting on him. Of course not all jiggers were removed, but follow up diggings are going to be done to ensure he's totally jigger free. Sometimes I look at men like him and wonder how they would end up without the boldness of stepping forward to help them? I think of the many thousands of lives that are lost across the world simply because there wasn't anyone to step in and offer just some basic help like we try to do. I feel voices of people crying from their graves; lamenting their early deaths. Like the cry of Abel that reached GOD, their cries have reached heaven and GOD has sent out help to those bent to go the same direction. It is an honor stretching forth our weak hands to offer help to the 'least of these'. Thanks so much partners for sending in your support that enables us to go out and touch lives. We're managing and please, do not relent. Please, don't look back. Let us keep hands tightly held together. Let the warmth of synergy chase away the dark of stigma and shame on faces that are surely blessed in heaven. We are revealing a new chapter in their lives as we open a page for them to read what's written in the divine inventory about them. It is indeed blessed to be part of this.

We aim to educate and inform the global community of the menace that has hit Kenya at an alarming rate and caused suffering across all ages. We hope to promote awareness and partnership with our viewers to help eradicate the Jigger menace in Kenya. We have no corporate or government funding for supplies and expenses and are, instead, supported by kind-hearted donors. DISCLAIMER: This video contains content that some may find graphic and shocking. It may not be appropriate for young or sensitive viewers. If you are uncomfortable, please do not watch. REGISTERED CHARITY: Rise Up Society, Kenya, is a Christian non-profit society registered with the Government of Kenya. We are showing God's love in action. Our goal is to help alleviate this jigger infestation suffered by an estimated 1.5 - 2.4 million of the 40 million Kenyans are Jigger Victims. MEDICAL CONDITION: The condition depicted is known as "Tungiasis". It is an infestation of the skin by a burrowing flea called Tunga penetrans (aka: Chigoe Flea). A victim is commonly referred to as having "Jiggers." These fleas tend to infest those who have inadequate living conditions and sanitation. The flea lives both outside around warm-blooded mammals and inside poorly constructed homes. It inhabits dust on floors, cracks in walls and bedding. Shoes protect to some degree but are often not affordable or adequate. More needs to be done to ensure a jigger-free environment, including extermination and sanitation measures, improvements in home construction and making clean bedding more commonplace. Jiggers are vicious and real! The parasites burrow into the skin and then swell up with eggs; the larvae hatch and the cycle continues. Jiggers cause untold suffering in the afflicted, interfering with sleep, and causing itching, pain and the inability to walk. The parasite can afflict all parts of the body. METHODOLOGY: Rise Up Society uses the method of physical extraction under the direction of highly qualified, local physicians with hands-on knowledge in this field. We have refined our method over a 3-year period in which approximately 150,000 victims of Jigger infestation have been helped. We have incorporated new and improved equipment, medicines and practices over the course of time as information became available and funding allowed. While physical extraction is not new, it is efficient and our preferred method until research reveals better treatments. Treatment options for Jiggers vary, and our method may not reflect the practices of other groups in other parts of Kenya or in the surrounding countries that are also inflicted with the jigger menace.
