We treat jiggers and equip children with the knowledge and tools to remain jiggerfree for the rest of their lives. Patients are under the supervision of fulltime nurses, a doctor, and caregivers for two weeks or more where they are treated, taught healthy habits to remain jigger free, and receive psycho social support from our social work team. Patients are provided three meals per day, education classes, two pairs of shoes, a set of clean clothing, and hygiene products. Additionally, our medical team, in partnership with local hospitals, strives to treat whatever other conditions patients present with from malaria to hernias. Number of patients treated at the Hope Centre 337; (4) Home visits: Sole Hope social workers and community-based village health teams visit each and every patient who stayed at the Hope Centre. They strive to perform one month, three months, and six months follow up visits. Visits are aimed at mobilizing community support, reinforcing positive changes made during patients stay at Hope Centre and early intervention in the case of re-infestation. 1,738 former patients were followed up, and 73% were living jigger free. (5) Shoemaking Sole Hope employs 16 Ugandan tailors and shoemakers and pays them a fair wage to complete the shoes given out at clinics and the residential treatment facility. Number of pairs of shoes made 19,818 (6) Job creation: A key part of Sole Hopes mission in Uganda is creating jobs. Employment allows people to live a healthy lifestyle and raise their families not only jigger free, but also as educated and productive members of society.
