2/23/2016
Joseph needed a hand to bring him out from his hiding place, to help him out of jigger humiliation and to give him the hope and future that had been robbed from him. He lives on the slopes of Mount Elgon with his elderly grandparents. They are jigger victims and needed our help as well. GOD gave us a chance to go reach this extended family. I am grateful for the opportunity. Help us reach out to more!\r

* FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE *\r
The videos produced by Rise Up Society and Jim Nduruchi are intended solely for informational purposes and not meant to shock or offend. We aim to educate and inform the global community of the menace that has hit Kenya at an alarming rate and caused suffering across all ages. We hope to promote awareness and partnership with our viewers to help eradicate the Jigger menace in Kenya. We have no corporate or government funding for supplies and expenses and are, instead, supported by kind-hearted donors.\r
\r
DISCLAIMER: This video contains content that some may find graphic and shocking. It may not be appropriate for young or sensitive viewers. If you are uncomfortable, please do not watch.\r
\r
REGISTERED CHARITY: Rise Up Society, Kenya, is a Christian non-profit society registered with the Government of Kenya. We are showing Gods love in action. Our goal is to help alleviate this jigger infestation suffered by an estimated 1.5 - 2.4 million of the 40 million Kenyans are Jigger Victims. This is a serious situation affecting over 5% of the population. For more information, or to donate, visit our website at: ; to e-mail me personally, use: Jim@killthejigger.org\r
\r
MEDICAL CONDITION: The condition depicted is known as Tungiasis. It is an infestation of the skin by a burrowing flea called Tunga penetrans (aka: Chigoe Flea). A victim is commonly referred to as having Jiggers. These fleas tend to infest those who have inadequate living conditions and sanitation. The flea lives both outside around warm-blooded mammals and inside poorly constructed homes. It inhabits dust on floors, cracks in walls and bedding. Shoes protect to some degree but are often not affordable or adequate. More needs to be done to ensure a jigger-free environment, including extermination and sanitation measures, improvements in home construction and making clean bedding more commonplace. Jiggers are vicious and real!\r
\r
The parasites burrow into the skin and then swell up with eggs; the larvae hatch and the cycle continues. Jiggers cause untold suffering in the afflicted, interfering with sleep, and causing itching, pain and the inability to walk. The parasite can afflict all parts of the body. Victims are often socially stigmatized, left isolated and without family or communal support. \r
\r
METHODOLOGY: Rise Up Society uses the method of physical extraction under the direction of highly qualified, local physicians with hands-on knowledge in this field. We have refined our method over a 3-year period in which approximately 150,000 victims of Jigger infestation have been helped. We have incorporated new and improved equipment, medicines and practices over the course of time as information became available and funding allowed. While physical extraction is not new, it is efficient and our preferred method until research reveals better treatments. Treatment options for Jiggers vary, and our method may not reflect the practices of other groups in other parts of Kenya or in the surrounding countries that are also inflicted with the jigger menace. \r
