TREATING WATER WITH CHLORINE AT THE SOURCE PROVIDES AN EFFECTIVE, LOW COST AND SAFE APPROACH TO IMPROVING WATER QUALITY AND REDUCING THE IMPACT OF CHILD DIARRHEA, A LEADING CAUSE OF CHILD DEATH. CHLORINE KILLS 99.99% OF HARMFUL BACTERIA, KEEPS WATER FREE FROM CONTAMINATION FOR UP TO 72 HOURS, AND REDUCES THE INCIDENCE OF DIARRHEA BY 40%. DESPITE THE EXISTENCE OF THIS SIMPLE SOLUTION, HOWEVER, MANY PEOPLE IN RURAL AREAS OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES STILL DO NOT HAVE EASY, CONVENIENT ACCESS TO CHLORINE. CHLORINE DISPENSERS CURRENTLY SERVE SOME ONE MILLION PEOPLE IN EAST AFRICA AND ARE POISED TO SCALE TO SERVE 25 MILLION PEOPLE BY 2018. THE PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED BY RIGOROUS EVALUATION THAT DEMONSTRATES THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINED ADOPTION AND COST EFFECTIVENESS OF CHLORINE DISPENSERS. CHLORINE DISPENSERS ARE EXPLICITLY PROVIDED AS A PUBLIC SERVICE WITH A BUSINESS MODEL THAT PLANS FOR ON-GOING MAINTENANCE TO BE COVERED THROUGH A SUSTAINABLE REVENUE STREAM. 1981 DEWORM THE WORLD INITIATIVE:EVIDENCE ACTION LEADS THE DEWORM THE WORLD INITIATIVE: AN EFFORT BY A COALITION OF PARTNERS TO END INTESTINAL WORM INFECTIONS IN CHILDREN AS A PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM. EVIDENCE ACTION SUPPORTS EFFORTS TO SCALE UP AND SUSTAIN MASS TREATMENT FOR INTESTINAL WORMS AT SCHOOLS. WHILE VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT AND UNHEARD OF IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES TODAY, INTESTINAL WORM INFECTIONS ARE ENDEMIC IN MANY OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, POSING A SERIOUS THREAT TO CHILDREN'S HEALTH, EDUCATION AND LONG TERM PRODUCTIVITY. THESE INFECTIONS CAN INTERFERE WITH NUTRIENT UPTAKE; LEAD TO ANEMIA, MALNOURISHMENT AND IMPAIRED MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT; AND INHIBIT CHILDREN'S ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE OR EVEN ATTEND SCHOOL. WORM INFECTIONS ARE ESTIMATED TO CAUSE A LOSS OF 200 TO 524 MILLION YEARS OF PRIMARY SCHOOLING AND EXACT A SIGNIFICANT TOLL ON HUMAN CAPITAL, HINDERING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN PARTS OF THE WORLD THAT CAN LEAST AFFORD IT. TREATMENT WITH A SIMPLE PILL IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED AS A SAFE AND SIMPLE SOLUTION, AND DELIVERY THROUGH EXISTING SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE IS A COST-EFFECTIVE PLATFORM TO REACH TENS, AND POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS, OF MILLIONS OF CHILDREN AT SCALE. RIGOROUS EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT SCHOOL-BASED DEWORMING PROGRAMS CAN TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF CHILDREN OVER THE SHORT AND LONG TERM AT A COST OF LESS THAN $0.50 PER YEAR.2 LEADING ADVOCATES FOR EFFECTIVE PHILANTHROPY SUCH AS THE COPENHAGEN CONSENSUS, GIVEWELL, AND THE ABDUL LATIF JAMEEL POVERTY ACTION LAB (J-PAL) AT MIT ALL HAVE PROMOTED SCHOOL-BASED DEWORMING TREATMENT AS A "BEST BUY" IN DEVELOPMENT FOR ITS COST-EFFECTIVENESS AND EVIDENCE OF IMPACT. 191733 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X X X BRIANNA BUSSFELD 3154001926 641 S STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20001 X ALIX PETERSON ZWANE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (SEE SCH.
