On Tuesday, 1st July 2025, the Chichi Foundation carried out a deworming exercise for 326 pupils in Pokuase.

The exercise was conducted in two phases:
•⁠ ⁠100 pupils received Habiben 100, targeted at children aged 2 years and above.
•⁠ ⁠226 pupils received Habiben 400, administered to those aged 4 years and above.

According to the medical team, the rationale behind the exercise was based on the health risks common in rural communities, where many families engage in farming and children are regularly exposed to soil and unsanitary conditions. It was noted that some pupils often play in the sand and eat without washing their hands properly, increasing their risk of worm infestations.

The Chichi Foundation emphasized its commitment to improving child health and hygiene in underserved communities.
