Chris Van Tulleken joined a museum expedition to Uganda. A staggering three quarters of Uganda' s 33 million inhabitants survive on less than 2USdollar a day. Life for many is a constant battle for food, education and health care. As a doctor of tropical medicine, I' m here to see how museum zoologists are helping tackle one disease that' s devastating many of Africa' s children. We' re on our way to a fishing village on the edge of Lake Victoria. Now, this is a community that depends on the lake for everything. They wash in it, they drink it, they get all their food from it, but the lake also harbours a parasite which is drastically reducing the quality of life for children. It' s retarding their growth, it' s impairing their mental development, and eventually it' s going to kill an awful lot of them. |
