We encourage you to read this compelling The New York Times story. It explores the road ahead for NTD elimination efforts following global shifts, and the innovative ways that countries are integrating treatment campaigns to continue driving the work forward.
#WorldNTDDay brings awareness to the nearly 2 billion people affected by NTDs like STH. For 20 years, CWW has supported national programs in reducing the global burden of STH infections so that children at-risk can be healthy and free from STH infections. #BeatNTDs #UniteActEliminate
#WorldNTDDay is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when countries, partners, & communities unite behind a shared mission.
With 58 countries having eliminated at least one NTD, the momentum is real.

CWW just updated our “STH Facts and Figures” page to highlight new figures from WHO’s Schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases: progress report, 2024! Visit the page here: childrenwithoutworms.org/resources/st...
2023 WHO data noted that 5 countries in the WHO African and Eastern Mediterranean Regions stopped preventive chemotherapy after impact assessments demonstrated an STH prevalence <2%.
These countries showcase the effectiveness of STH control efforts in reducing its prevalence.
The #STH Convening on Drug Access and Delivery memo is now live! The discussions held aimed to determine how to best ensure the continued delivery of deworming drugs and prepare for sustained access beyond 2030. Read it here: childrenwithoutworms.org/sth-convenin...
WHO data suggests that the total number of children requiring PC for STH decreased by 21.7 million between 2022 and 2023. This reduction shows the positive impact that global STH control programs have had in helping eliminate suffering from intestinal worm infections in children around the world.
We look forward to seeing the continued impact of their work as the fight continues to #BeatNTDs.
