Novel Approach to National School-Based Deworming Programs in Africa ("Ujiplus")

Ujiplus is a highly nutrituous school meal with deworming properties that can be used for children at risk of parasitic worm disease, while also tackling malnutrition. During TTS funding, TEPAD will seek to: (1) Conduct an expanded clinical trial to demonstrate the efficacy of Ujiplus on A. lumbricoides and an additional three (3) common worm infections (est. 1,200 children across 6 schools.) (2) Make adjustments to product formulation as necessary to improve taste and texture. (3) Build a viable go-to-market & scaling strategy (i.e.market research, business plan development, etc.)
