Francis Kamwono, a resident of Kima, has been battling a severe jigger infestation for years. His condition, like many others in rural Kenya, reflects the devastating impact of jiggers on daily life, mobility, and overall health. Jiggers, or sand fleas, burrow into the skin, causing intense pain, inflammation, and, in severe cases, disability. Without proper intervention, the infestation can worsen, leading to secondary infections and social stigma.
Thanks to the dedicated work of Rise Up Society, Francis is receiving much-needed jigger extraction treatment. The organization, known for its life-changing work in eradicating jiggers, has helped thousands of individuals reclaim their lives from the painful grip of these parasites. Their approach includes careful extraction, thorough cleaning, and medical aftercare to ensure the wounds heal properly.
Francis’s story is just one of many documented by Rise Up Society, a group committed to restoring dignity to affected individuals. The transformation is often dramatic—people who could barely walk due to the pain regain mobility and confidence. The organization’s efforts extend beyond treatment; they also raise awareness about hygiene, prevention, and community support to break the cycle of jigger infestations.
