Deworm One, Save a Life
The community-health project that became the beginning of Everwell.
Project in plain language
A rural community response combining prevention education with practical services.
The need
Why the project happened.
Project records describe serious sanitation and parasitic-disease concerns, including limited access to toilets and clean water, reliance on a shared pond and community reports of symptoms consistent with parasitic disease.
What Everwell did
From planning to practical support.
- Health education on hygiene and prevention of intestinal parasitic infections.
- Age-appropriate albendazole deworming.
- Malaria rapid testing and treatment support.
- Blood-pressure checks and counselling.
- Engagement with local health workers and community leaders.
Documented results
Figures are presented in the form supported by the project records. They should not be added together as unique beneficiaries where services may overlap.
Who was involved
Collaboration & community engagement
Implementation involved local health workers, community leaders and volunteers, with follow-up provisions documented in the project report.
What this project showed us
Learning that shapes the next project.
The first project reinforced a simple lesson: communities respond when health information and practical support are brought together in a way that makes sense locally.
Evidence & privacy
We keep useful evidence without publishing private participant data.
Project records can include reports, service data, photographs, financial summaries, approvals, beneficiary feedback and follow-up notes. Public copies are curated so names, phone numbers, signatures, raw spreadsheets and other sensitive information are not exposed.
