Demand the Kenyan Government do More to Help the Victims of the Chigoe Flea.

1.5 - 2.4 million of the 40 million Kenyan citizens, most often the poorest in their society, suffer from a condition known as Tungiasis. It is an infestation of the skin, usually the feet, by a burrowing flea called Tunga penetrans (aka: Chigoe Flea).

A victim is commonly referred to as having "Jiggers." This affliction causes symptoms that can lead to infection, loss of toes, and even death. The government does little if anything to help.
