The Deworm the World Initiative is a program led by the nonprofit Evidence Action that works to support governments in developing school-based deworming programs in Kenya, India, Ethiopia, and Vietnam.
Deworm the World supports the governments of India and Kenya in their respective national school-based deworming programs, and works with the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative in supporting Ethiopia's national school-based deworming program.
History
The initiative was originally an independent organization called Deworm the World, co-founded by development economist Michael Kremer. Initially supported by the Partnership for Child Development and Innovations for Poverty Action, Deworm the World became an initiative of Evidence Action in late 2013.
Reviews
GiveWell
Charity evaluator GiveWell has recommended the program as one of its top charities since 2013.
Giving What We Can
Effective altruism advocacy group Giving What We Can (GWWC) lists Deworm the World Initiative as a "promising" charity. The group did a case study of deworming activities in Bihar, India for which the initiative provided assistance. GWWC contrasts the initiative with Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, another deworming charity, as follows: the initiative focuses on helping governments carry out deworming programs, rather than carrying out the deworming program itself. Therefore, it bears less of the cost, and is potentially more scalable. However, many of the programs it assists with may have occurred without its help, leading to lower impact relative to the counterfactual.
