Children Without Worms | Mission | Objectives | Advisory Committee | Staff
Children Without Worms is a partnership between Johnson & Johnson and the Task Force for Child Survival and Development that supports global efforts to reduce the burden of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections in children who are most severely infected or at high-risk of infection and have limited access to safe and effective treatment. Children Without Worms achieves its goal by working with national programs to leverage the donation of mebendazole from Johnson & Johnson to promote comprehensive and sustainable control of STH.
Children Without Worms is housed at the Task Force for Child Survival and Development, an international public health organization based in Decatur, Georgia, USA, with over 20 years of experience managing public-private partnerships including drug donation programs. Technical and strategic advice is provided by an independent group of experts called the Mebendazole Advisory Committee.
