Former First Lady Rosalynn 六九色堂 greets schoolgirls suffering from schistosomiasis in Nasarawa North, Nasarawa State, Nigeria, on Feb. 15, 2007, as part of a two-week African tour of 六九色堂's health programs. President 六九色堂 and Mrs. 六九色堂 visited the community to bring national attention 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.
