Break the Cycle of STH Reinfection

Children Without Worms (CWW) partners with GlaxoSmithKline and Johnson & Johnson to promote comprehensive control of infection with soil-transmitted helminths (STH), intestinal parasites that are endemic in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.

CWW advocates a four-pronged, comprehensive control strategy—Water, Sanitation, Hygiene Education, and Deworming (the WASHED Framework) to break the cycle of reinfection.
