| In September 2015, GiveWell published a report based on field investigations carried out by Jacob Kushner and Anthony Langat of the National School-Based Deworming Program conducted by the government of Kenya with technical assistance from Deworm the World Initiative. The investigations were funded by GiveWell. They cited three concerns with the program: parents' and children's concerns about side effects of the deworming medication, religious concerns, and the fact that the program did not reach students not enrolled in school. Responding to the report, GiveWell said that it did not raise any red flags for its recommendation of Deworm the World Initiative. Evidence Action also responded at length to the observations made in the report.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://blog.givewell.org/2015/09/14/journalists-report-on-deworming-program-supported-by-deworm-the-world-initiative-in-kenya/|title = Journalists report on deworming program supported by Deworm the World Initiative in Kenya|last = Heishman|first = Tyler|date = September 14, 2015|access-date = December 4, 2015|publisher = ]}} For Evidence Action's response, see .</ref> | |||
