organization overview

Chagas’ Disease Education Program works towards Chagas’ Disease eradication amongst rural poor in Bolivia. Chagas’ Disease is a parasitic infection usually contracted in childhood, but often asymptomatic until adulthood. Those people that manifest the infection develop significant illness, resulting in death or severe disability.  Quite frequently, the disease kills or sickens parents with young children, thus threatening the health of entire families. The aim of the Chagas’ Disease eradication program is to reduce transmission of this incurable disease.
