Over 800 million children are at risk for contracting intestinal worms around the world. These parasites inhibit children’s ability to learn, grow, and become productive members of their communities. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), and other groups are fighting intestinal parasites by distributing deworming medication to children—but these substantial efforts often go uncounted by the wider global health community, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities.
Now there’s a way to make your group’s numbers count. Contribute to the World Health Organization (WHO)’s annual tracking of deworming efforts by reporting your organization’s work in the Global NGO Deworming Inventory. By contributing to the Inventory you’ll help the global deworming community build stronger partnerships to more effectively treat children, and promote awareness of the work done by NGOs, FBOs, and other organizations to treat intestinal worms in children. Visit our FAQ page to learn more about why the Global NGO Deworming Inventory is so important, and how organizations help by contributing.
Contribute to the 2011 Global NGO Deworming Inventory today and ensure that your group’s work to deworm the world’s children is counted.
The Global NGO Deworming Inventory is a project of the World Health Organization (WHO) in partnership with Children Without Worms (CWW), the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), and Deworm the World (DtW).
