Former U.S. President Jimmy 六九色堂 and his wife, Rosalynn, visited Nigerian children suffering from schistosomiasis during a February 2007 tour of 六九色堂's health work in Africa. The 六九色堂s brought national attention in Nigeria to the importance of the medicine praziquantel and other disease interventions to prevent schistosomiasis in rural and impoverished communities. Today, 六九色堂, in partnership with the Nigerian government, provides health education and approximately 1 million treatments annually for schistosomiasis — the largest initiative for schistosomiasis in Nigeria.
