Dr. Wendy Harrison, the CEO of the SCI Foundation, is this episode’s guest. SCI’s vision is a world free of preventable diseases. One preventable disease that SCI is focusing on eradicating is caused by parasitic worm infections, which is not a problem those in developed countries hear about very often. However, they affect over a billion people around the world, the largest group being school-age children in the poorest communities. By working to prevent these infections and others, SCI is reducing impaired child development, increasing school attendance, and positively impacting the societies where these diseases are doing the most damage.
