    About This Project

    Let's fight a bloodworm parasite that can lead to bladder cancer in rural Nigeria. Local health workers have been trained to use cheap, foldable microscopes to test and treat people in rural communities. Drone flight surveys find where the snails that carry the parasite live, so we can target them. Monthly fun, game-based lessons in Yoruba teach kids how the disease spreads and how to stay safe. Together, we hypothesize that this approach could reduce illness burden. Will it?
