Plans to eradicate jiggers in Trans nzoia to help curb jigger infestation in Trans Nzoia. This will target children, youth, men, women, and old people from affected households within the society. This project provides health education on proper sanitation, treatment that focus on cleaning the feet, jigger’s removal, wound care, drug administration, deworming and also disinfecting houses with poor sanitation.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Jiggers and worm infection is more spread; alarming and more serious that needs immediate attention to contain its spread. Most of the victims have feet, hands and scalp as the most affected part of the body. From our own analysis and research in Khalwenge Village, Endebess constituency, 50% of the victims had their feet affected, 30% of the victims had both their hands and feet affected and finally about 20% had both scalp, hands, feet and other parts of the body affected.
How will this project solve this problem?
To solve the problem, the project will mobilize and sensitize on jiggers eradication, train 50 health workers in affected Villages to disseminate health messages focusing on proper sanitation, preventive and treatment measures. This will enable affected to avoid cases like poor sanitation, illiteracy, ignorance and poverty. Treatment will be done through administration of drugs focusing on cleaning the feet, jigger removal, wound care, deworming and disinfecting houses with poor sanitation.
Potential Long Term Impact
The project will improve the health status of 3000 children, 500 youths, 100 men, 200 women and 100 older persons. This will enable them rise from poor status of health and embrace good health and well-being.
