The World's Children Free of Intestinal Worms
Children Without Worms (CWW) envisions the world's children free of intestinal parasites so they can grow, play, learn and enrich their communities. To achieve this vision, CWW works with partners around the world to administer the deworming medication mebendazole, donated by Johnson & Johnson (J&J). In fact, CWW treated 20 million children in its recipient countries in both 2009 and 2010. Over the next five years, CWW will oversee the annual donation of 200 million tablets of mebendazole donated by Johnson & Johnson as part of J&J's expanded donation commitment.
CWW also advocates for hygiene education and increased access to water and sanitation facilities as part of a comprehensive strategy for reducing the global burden of soil-transmitted helminths (STH).
Children Without Worms is a partnership between The Task Force for Global Health and Johnson & Johnson.
