Hesham Al-Mekhlafi of the University of Malaya in Malaysia in collaboration with Azal University for Human Development
in Yemen will recruit and train youths and young researchers from rural areas in Yemen to teach their communities about
preventing and treating specific enteric diseases. Although effective drugs exist for treating intestinal parasitic diseases
such as soil-transmitted helminthiasis, many remain endemic in Yemen, particularly in rural populations where knowledge
and attitudes towards these diseases are poor. They will select four communities and meet with local leaders to garner
support for their project and help raise awareness. The effect of their approach will be evaluated on the incidence and
severity of infections.
