- MoH School Health **Doctor Stephen Kaliti**: I delivered a cohort of very good kids in multiple counties. I got another colleague. I'm a public health specialist. Im passionate on the youth. When I came back they told me, you delivered them, but they are now in school. We live in an age of evidence. The survival of humanity depends on our innovations. RCT gives good evidence, and we like that. Kenia has been burdened with STH. What can we do to fast-track. 30% of our population son SAC. They are a vulnerable population but the burden of this NTDs they haver disporportionate effects on this population. We want to have kenyans that perform at their bests. Distill the evidence and raise it higher. If its doing good in medicine, please do it. very passionate about translating research and evidence into policy. You can cook a good meal but if you don't have anyone to consume you didn't do a good job.
- **School Health: Ministry of Education**. I'm a teacher of English in the Kenyan School System. I rose from teacher to Teacher Manager. Having managed different schools at diferent levels: from subcounty (districts before), to county (200-300 secondary schools) and national. Children who are healthy will give the best output, that is my interest. We've been doing annual deworming and we have clustered our counties and annually administered drugs. The teachers are trained to give. The children are treated and fed so they are in the best condition, learning and their outcomes are optimal. We take sciences very seriously and STEM is a key foundation. Mwandawiro is a product of our education system.
- [[Mwandawiro]]: In the room we have colleagues from Ghana. People from different countries but in Africa we have Ghana and Kenya. We started the journey of STOP in 2018. We had colleages from Ethiopia and Mozambique. Ghana give me some nostalgic memories because in 2002, 2003 we started deworming activities with JICA. They came and stablished ESASIPAC. In Ghana they established WASASIPAC (for the West). We in Kenya and our colleagues in Ghana we're visiting each other and comparing notes. And we're here again in a consortium that joins us together. Please that the team from Ghana includes a prominent researcher, Abraham Oduro.
