Move over Chutes & Ladders: Schisto & Ladders has educational value plus worms

Schistosomiasis, a disease caused by parasitic worms spread through contaminated water, disproportionately affects children and leads to severe health issues. To raise awareness and educate communities on prevention methods, a new board game called 'Schisto & Ladders' has been developed. The game uses engaging gameplay to teach players about the risks of schistosomiasis and ways to avoid infection. This initiative aims to improve public understanding and promote preventive measures in regions where the disease is prevalent.
