join us to help change lives
We’re a non-profit initiative supporting governments in sub-Saharan African countries. We support them to develop sustainable, cost-effective programmes against parasitic worm infections such as schistosomiasis and intestinal worms. Since our foundation in 2002, we’ve contributed to the delivery of over 200 million treatments against these diseases. The programmes are highly effective; parasitic worm infections can be reduced by up to 60% after just one round of treatment.

What are parasitic worm infections and how are they treated?
We’ve helped so many children so far. But with over 1 billion people still infected with parasitic worms, there’s a lot of work left to do. Please donate what you can today to help reach even more people.
“To the people who help us treat children for schistosomiasis in Côte d’Ivoire, I really thank them with all my heart. Thanks to them, our children in the most remote parts of our country are healthy.” - Kenise Klah Keino, School Teacher.
