GiveWell Project
The GiveWell-funded project supported by Sightsavers aimed to provide access to NTD treatments through preventive chemotherapy approach. The target NTD of the project is Schistosomiasis treatment in all of the 16 endemic LGAs of Yobe State. To this end, treatment was conducted twice between February and December 2019. The first round of treatment was carried out in 10 LGAs while the later was in 6 LGAs.
It is important to note that in the last quarter of 2018, the Aisha Buhari Foundation conducted treatment in three (3) LGAs of the state. The GiveWell project threfore consolidated the efforts made by the foundation by providing improved therapy to those communities.
