Item Deworming Program In Low-Income Nicaraguan School(2020-04-24) Collins, Angela J.Infection of soil-transmitted helminths (STH), commonly referred to as intestinal worms, are estimated to plague over 1.5 billion of the world’s most impoverished communities. Developing countries bear the largest burden of STH infections due to lack of access to clean water, safe housing, sanitation infrastructure, education and healthcare. In 2017, the director of the World Health Organization’s Neglected Tropical Diseases department, stated, “There is now global consensus that periodic, large-scale deworming is the best way to reduce the suffering caused by intestinal worms,” [1]. In addition, numerous studies have shown significant efficacy particularly among school-based deworming interventions. Therefore, in order to best steward the health and wellbeing of their students, as well as to comply with the World Health Organization’s recommendations, the Granada Christian Education Center (GCEC) ― a primary school located in one of the poorest areas of Nicaragua ― is requesting $1000 in funding to establish a school-based deworming program among their growing student body.Item Indiana Partnerships For Success(Richard M.

PFS is a federal grant program administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Indiana’s PFS initiative was funded in 2015 through the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA) to provide support to counties that (a) were at an increased risk for alcohol and prescription drug misuse among individuals aged 12-25 and who were not able to qualify for other DMHA funding, or (b) lacked the proper infrastructure to support substance misuse initiatives. These communities were: Cass, Clark, Floyd, Knox, Lake, Madison, Marion, Porter, Scott, and Vanderburgh counties.
