THE PROBLEM
Parasites can destroy young lives. Entering the body through bare feet, dirty water and unclean food; parasites consume essential nutrients and vitamins. The result is millions of children with parasite-related malnutrition, blindness, stunted growth, anemia, cognitive delays and skin disease. Roughly 40 percent of the world’s children are infected with parasites, and millions die from parasite-related complications. There is a cure! This cure offered by World Concern is easy, inexpensive and effective. Just two annual doses of medicine and Vitamin A – distributed through programs in schools and clinics, along with lessons on how to avoid re-infection -- can wipe out the parasites and prevent blindness caused by Vitamin A deficiency. Both of these treatments are safe, easy to administer, and inexpensive.
Just $44 can provide this life-saving treatment to 100 children for a full year!
