During the most critical stages of a child’s growth, between 6 and 24 months, a parasitic worm infestation can begin attacking the internal organs resulting in severe physical and mental damage which often leads to death if left untreated. Parasitic worm infestation causes life-threatening infections and stems from
unsanitary drinking water and living conditions.

As a result malnutrition, anemia, stunted physical growth, and delayed mental development are prevalent among children in the world’s poorest regions. To address this problem LEGACY OF HEALING provides anti-parasite treatments for children and families during mass treatment campaigns through partner clinics in targeted populations of the world’s poorest regions.
