What are jiggers.

Jiggers are tiny parasites that burrow into the skin of the feet. They cause pain, swelling, and infections that make it hard for children to walk, play, or attend school.

Families in rural Uganda face jigger outbreaks that spread quickly. Without treatment, children experience ongoing pain, wounds, and isolation.

Sole Hope clinics provide jigger removal, wound care, hygiene education, and protective shoes that help prevent reinfestation.

Brighter Days at Sole Hope
A child's story of hope

From hiding in pain to running again.

Paul used to hide his feet. The pain from jiggers kept him from walking without fear and made school feel impossible. He worried that others would notice, or worse, decide he wasn’t worth being around.

When Paul came to Sole Hope, he received gentle care, clean bandages, and new protective shoes. He heard words of encouragement and felt the kind of welcome every child deserves.

Over time his wounds healed, his confidence grew, and he stepped back into life with joy.

“Now I can run again. I can go back to school.”
