Rael Dorof Township Jigger Digging (2 of 4)

Meeting Rael, we thought she wasn't part of those learners because of her age and lack of school uniform. We later discovered Rael was a still a standard seven pupil who had dropped out because of jiggers. She's a special case and the eldest in the school. The younger pupils had been making fun of her which always made her so embarrassed and finally stay home. After the jigger digging session, we had to sit the whole school down and educate them about jiggers. That's all they need to know and the stigma always goes away.

This video is intended for educational purposes and to raise awareness of the health problems that jiggers cause in Africa.

MEDICAL CONDITION: The condition depicted is known as "Tungiasis". It is an infestation of the skin by a burrowing flea. These fleas tend to infest those who have inadequate living conditions and sanitation. The flea lives both outside around warm-blooded mammals and inside poorly constructed homes. It inhabits dust on floors, cracks in walls and bedding. Shoes protect to some degree but are often not affordable or adequate.
