==Work==
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 870 million children are at risk of parasitic worm infection. Over 400 million of these children remain untreated, according to the WHO fact sheet on soil-transmitted helminths.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs366/en )〕 Worm infections interfere with nutrient uptake; can lead to anemia, malnourishment and impaired mental and physical development; and pose a serious threat to children’s health, education, and productivity. Infected children are often too sick or tired to concentrate at school, or to attend at all. Deworm the World supports the governments of India and Kenya in their respective national school-based deworming programs, and works with the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative in supporting Ethiopia's national school-based deworming program.
