Jigger infestations have greatly affected children in our village, leaving many in pain and unable to engage in meaningful activities such as school and community initiatives like tree planting. These parasitic infections cause severe discomfort, open wounds, and mobility challenges, isolating children and preventing them from contributing to environmental efforts.

Tree planting is not just about greening our environment; it’s a valuable activity that teaches children responsibility, teamwork, and the importance of sustainability. By addressing jigger infestations through medical treatment, hygiene education, and preventive measures like ensuring proper footwear, we can enable children to actively participate in tree planting and other community-building projects.

This approach not only improves the health and well-being of children but also fosters a culture of environmental stewardship and resilience in our village.
