Fusheni Nazeed, once a driver for the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Center health programs, is the now the local trachoma health worker in this area. Nazeed demonstrated for the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃs how trachoma can be prevented when simple environmental strategies and health education become part of people's daily lives in the trachoma-endemic village of Tingoli. The use of household pit latrines when paired with regular hand and face washing can significantly reduce the blinding bacterial eye infection, creating a healthier and stronger community.
