January is National Deworming Month πͺ±
Worm infections remain a preventable public health concern, especially among children. A coordinated, community-based approach is essential to break the cycle of transmission. We emphasize WASH + D as a practical and effective strategy:
π§ Water β Improve access to clean and safe drinking water
π½ Sanitation β Strengthen sanitation facilities and work toward Zero Open Defecation
π§Ό Hygiene β Reduce transmission and reinfection through proper handwashing and hygienic practices
π Deworming β Conduct periodic, community-wide deworming to protect children and families
Together, these measures help ensure healthier growth, better nutrition, and improved learning outcomes for our children. Let us act early and act togetherβfor a healthier community.
