That\u2019s what the WHO says, that\u2019s what researchers of the Poverty Action Lab at MIT say and that\u2019s what convinced the World Economic Forum in Davos to launch the \u201cDeworm the World\u201d initiative.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Ethiopian government takes part in this initiative \u2013 but still, this is not enough: <em>&#8220;The government provides only one deworming pill per year for children between 5 and 15, but two would be necessary&#8221; <\/em>says Kunuz Haji of the Zonal Health Bureau in Jimma, where our coffee comes from.<\/p>\n<p>But what have intestinal worms to do with development anyway? Why are deworming treatments for school children so important?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorm infections can lead to abdominal pain, listlessness, malnutrition\u2026\u201d Doesn&#8217;t sound like \u201cYeay, I&#8217;m going to school today\u201d, hm? That&#8217;s why in a study conducted by Edward Miguel and Michael Kremer in Kenya, deworming treatments reduced absenteeism by a quarter. Which might not seem too much when you think of children not going to school in European schools. But the absenteeism rate in Kenya was around 30% in the schools that were not treated. So if a week has 5 days of school and a month has 4 weeks, an average child was staying at home 6 days per month. Deworming reduced this number by 1.5 days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-545 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/directcoffee.nexloc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Deworming-1-1024x579.jpg\" alt=\"Deworming (1)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But scientists wouldn&#8217;t be scientist if they would stop here, Kremer and his team also wanted to know the long term effects of the project. And they are even more impressive than in the short term: Compared to young adults who had not been treated, those who had swallowed the pills a more than 20% higher income.<\/p>\n<p>This is why Deworming = Development. And this is why we want to supplement the Ethiopian government&#8217;s program to provide a year-round coverage against intestinal worms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Further readings:<\/p>\n<p>Poverty Action Lab at MIT: <a href=\"https:\/\/directcoffee.net\/2\">https:\/\/www.povertyactionlab.org\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/2012.3.22-Deworming.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>World Health Organization: <a href=\"https:\/\/directcoffee.net\/3\">http:\/\/www.who.int\/features\/2015\/rwanda-deworming-campaign\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>About the studies challenging the 1990 Kenya study\u2019s results: <a href=\"https:\/\/directcoffee.net\/4\">http:\/\/www.economist.com\/blogs\/economist-explains\/2015\/08\/economist-explains-6<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deworming at school is one of the most effective means of increasing school attendance \u2013 and by that fostering education and development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-projects-en","category-sustainability-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Deworming = Development &#8211;
