As a young boy, Elias lived with severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting every day. Can you imagine living with that or watching a child you love suffer? Most of us would be at the pediatrician’s office and searching the internet to figure out what to do to heal our child, but for the people in his remote village in Kenya this was just part of life. All the children felt the same way Elias did, so they never questioned why.
The dirty water carries the parasites causing sickness.
Then, as a young teen, Elias was given a pill that took away all the pain and sickness. For the first time in his life, he knew what it felt like to be free of intestinal worms.
The 44 cent cure is being delivered!
“I was given medicine to get rid of the worms that were making me sick, and I felt very strange. For the first time, I was healthy. I didn’t know how that felt!”
The impact of parasites is feeble health or death. When a child is given the 44 Cent Cure, it means they can have a healthy life, absorb nutrients from food, become strong and energetic, play, sit in a class and learn, and engage productively. The 44 Cent Cure gives them a chance at life that otherwise they wouldn’t have.
The 44-Cent Cure is a small pill that kills intestinal parasites and frees a child from misery. At World Concern, we call it a magical pill because it saves lives with just one dose, and it only costs 44 cents!
Kids are living healthier lives thanks to World Concern’s 44 cent cure!
