Kicking Jiggers Out of Western Kenya

Your contribution in the fight against jiggers in western Kenya, Africa is massively being felt through the many children, women and men receiving disinfection services that are solely funded by your generous donations.

Give amore and Cornerstone church led “jigger removal campaign” consolidated efforts and held another successful jigger removal clinic in the vas western Kenya region seven days ago. 

Being the second jigger removal clinic to our name, many showed up to get well again, learn on the best practices of keeping jiggers away while also being gifted shoes for their feet.

Unlike the premiere clinic, the second clinic covered a larger geographical location hence, hundreds more patients were attended to, tens more homes were fumigated and many more paradigm shifts orchestrated towards what jiggers really are.

Due to lack of formal education and almost zero  sensitization on the jigger subject, many people in the remote rural areas of western Kenya, perceive jiggers as an impact of a curse tagged to poverty hence they live believing that they are being punished in some way unknown to them by an unknown body through these notorious parasites. 

Fortunately, our indulgence in the fight against jiggers has kept a constant yield of awareness and positive paradigm shifts on jiggers, something that promises to spur long-term sustainability of the program in the lives nay communities we reach and touch.
