The 8th edition Jiggers Clinic just concluded at Mayigo Primary School, and the results were both heartbreaking and hopeful:
📊 Results:
160 lives screened
140 treated for painful, crippling jigger infestations
86 schoolchildren
54 elderly and children from the community
103 pairs of shoes gifted to protect vulnerable feet
😢 The reality: Jiggers are attacking entire families from grandparents to schoolchildren. The infestation spreads fast, leaving victims weak to even walk properly to get help.
But hope is in our hands. By the next clinic, we aim to treat more, fumigate homes and classrooms, and provide shoes to protect vulnerable children and community members. With your help, we can stop the spread and restore lives.
