2022 gigger clinics premiered this month with over fifty recipients benefitting from the program. Children formed the majority of the beneficiaries with most of their feet on fatal levels making this initiative the promptest and much needed for their craving of a good night’s sleep.
Our primary targets are school going children who are the most vulnerable due to their inaccessibility to foot cover, hence after every jigger clinic, our patients each get shoes to prevent any reinfections during and after treatment. With most families living in dirt houses which are a breeding ground for jigger causing fleas, our team further sensitized them on efficient tactics that help mitigating the thriving of the parasites.
Our endeavor is to ensure our community is free from these enemies of comfort and we hope and pray these efforts persist and last over time. Our prayers and gratitude go out to our thoughtful donors whose kind contributions promise lasting comfort to these miserable children.
