Project Overview
Tell us a little about your project. What are the main objectives of the project, and who will benefit from it?
Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic disease of man and other mammals caused by infection of Trematodes of the genus Schistosoma. The types in Uganda are Schistosomamansoni which is prevalent in most of the country including Lake Victoria and Schistosomahaematobium which is limited to a few districts in central northern Uganda. The disease is transmitted from man to man through larvae shed by infected snails that live in fresh water bodies. Man is infected while in contact with the infested water while fishing, swimming, playing etc.. The larvae penetrate man through unbroken skin and migrate through blood vessels to the liver, where they mature. For Schistosomamansoni, adults live in intestinal blood vessels where each female worm produces over 300 to 3000 eggs per day. Some of the eggs are excreted in stool and, once reach they reach fresh water, they hatch into larvae that infects snails to begin the cycle again. The remaining eggs are trapped in the body especially the liver causing liver fibrosis and cancer.
For the Rotary supported project, other than providing and equipping an upgraded health centre, it will also support schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminth (STH) control by improving health centre based management of the diseases and as part of outreach services, support schistosomiasis& STH mass treatment to increase treatment coverage which is persistently very low.
Schistosomiasis problem in Uganda.
Schistosomiasismansoniwas first detected in Uganda in 1909 but thorough investigations occurred between 1950 and 2007. All studies showed the disease to be a serious problem and wide spread particularly along large water bodies including Lake Victoria. One of the studies described the infection to be very intense, more so than any other area ever studied. Hospital records over a 30 year
period between 1951 and 1980 showed this condition to be the first cause of hospital death and the second cause of hospital admissions in adults in north western Uganda. Control of the disease was initiated in 2003 when Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI) of Imperial College, London, UK provided the required funds. The interventions hinged on annual mass treatment (MDA) with praziquantel and Health Education and these have been implemented since then to date. By 2006, the prevalence and intensity of infection in majority of the foci in the country had been drastically reduced and transmission interruption seemed potentially possible in majority of affected areas. Problem of schistosomiasis control in Lake Victoria islands
However, in Lake Victoria Islands, the story was different. Due to high transport costs on water, operations in the islands were expensive and poorly implemented, hence both geographical and chemotherapeutic coverage are extremely low sometimes as low as 5% in some communities.
Perhaps due to similar reasons, limited support has been extended to the islands in form of health education, safe water supply and sanitation improvement leading to continuous high re-infection rate. Furthermore, due to their unstable residency, it is difficult to gather large numbers of people for sensitisation or treatment. This implies that many people inevitably continue to miss treatment during the formal mass treatment days which is done once a year. Collaboration between health, fisheries department and affected communities can play a major role in improving the treatment coverage but this approach has never been attempted due to insufficient funds. To involve the communities, it is vital to sensitise them about preventive, control and curative measures, train community volunteers including community leaders on control issues and train health workers on disease management. Most islanders do not own land, they live in temporary low quality hats with poor sanitation, lack of clean water and they are overcrowded and all these factors favour schistosomiasis transmission). Hence the objectives of this project will be:-
- To asses community awareness about schistosomiasis, its signs/ symptoms and transmission methods,
- To asses health workers knowledge and skills on disease management,
- To train health workers in appropriate skills of disease diagnosis and management D. To asses peoples’ attitudes, practices and health seeking behaviour,
- To design appropriate messages using the information above (A & B) to sensitize affected communities about disease prevention and control,
- To increase treatment coverage through utilisation of community volunteers and beach management team,
- To improve use of available safe water sources and harvesting and storage of rain water,

Project planning
Describe the community needs that your project will address.
Treatment of schistosomiasis and other helminths endemic in the region, otherwise known as “Neglected Tropical Diseases”. Population surveys have confirmed the high incidence of schistosomiasis amongst the island population in common with other communities in and around Lake Victoria. The life cycle of the schistosomes is well established and understood as is the life cycle of the fresh water snails that carry them.
The project will establish a centre for disease diagnosis at Ddagye Health Center II, partner with Ministry of health to deploy laboratory personnel, improve schistosomiasis management in health facilities, improve health seeking behaviour, improve knowledge of health workers and affected communities on issues concerning schistosomiasis prevention, control and treatment, improve treatment compliance and hence treatment coverage consequently eliminating schistosomiasis morbidity in the catchment area and above all greatly improve community participation and ownership factors that are vital for programme sustainability. Unlike the ongoing vertical approach, this project will completely ride on existing health structures hence completely integrate the control efforts in existing health system another factor that promotes sustainability of the programme.
How did your project team identify these needs?
The Rotary Club of Kampala- Ssese Islands does a good number of projects from Ssese Islands,and its from here that the Rotary Club of Cardiff and the imperial college picked interest in doing more with Rotary and Ministry of Health in trying to solve the problem of Schistosomiasis in Ssese Islands.
Schistosomiasis was first detected in Uganda in 1909 but thorough investigations occurred between 1950 and 2007. All studies showed the disease to be a serious problem and wide spread particularly along large water bodies including Lake Victoria.One of the studies described the infection to be very intense, more so than any other area ever studied. Hospital records over a 30 year period between 1951 and 1980 showed this condition to be the first cause of hospital death and the second cause of hospital admissions in adults in north western Uganda. Control of the disease was initiated in 2003 when Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI) of Imperial College provided the required funds. The interventions hinged on annual mass treatment (MDA) with praziquantel and Health Education and these have been implemented since then to date. By 2006, the prevalence and intensity of infection in majority of the foci in the country had been drastically reduced and transmission interruption seemed potentially possible in majority of affected areas.
How were members of the benefiting community involved in finding solutions?
The Rotary Club of Kampala-Ssese Islands has built Ddagye Health Centre II and equipped it with medical accessories, supplies and staff in partnership with the Wamala Family and Ministry of Health. The Health Center is now fully running with a fully established laboratory which will be equipped with a microscope and CCA cassettes for rapid diagnosis of S.mansoni in urine samples. Ministry of Health will train the current personnel who are running the laboratory. In addition, Ministry of health has provided the general staff who are working in the Health Centre. The existing staff in majority of Health Facilities in Uganda has limited skills in the diagnosis and management of schistosomiasis. The Grant will be used to meet training costs of the Health workers using Central Ministry of Health personnel as facilitators. The centre based schistosomiasis diagnosis will utilize two methods namely “the Kato Katz Technique” in stool and or Circulating Cathodic Antigens (CCA in urine). The approach at the health centre will be “test and treatment of all identified positive cases”. The staff will also be trained on use of signs and symptoms to decide whether to treat or not.
Using Ministry of Health personnel, a KAP study to determine knowledge, attitude and practice of the people will be implemented using a simple questionnaire. Knowledge from the KAP study will be utilized to design appropriate IEC materials. The IEC messages will be utilised by the trained Health Centre Staff to sensitize communities in their catchment area. The central Ministry of Health and district staff will supervise all activities to ensure quality. Mass Drug Administration (MDAs) will be supervised by relevant Central & District staff. Ministry of Health will cater for radio jingles to promote treatment compliance.
How were community members involved in planning the project?
Rotary Club of Kampala, Ssese Islands has well established links with the island communities and was instrumental in raising funds to provide the building for the Health Centre which cost $28,000. The Health Center is now fully operational and often being used by the community on a regular basis but also often hosting medical outreaches which include more clinics like eye, dental and cervical cancer screening.
The community will be involved in planning and will provide community volunteers who will be trained in skills to support implementation. The community will be effectively mobilized to regularly seek for treatment in the health facility and to regularly take medicines at the community level. The project will be helping to improve impact of the ongoing schistosomiasis
- STH programme which has been funded by Ministry of Health in collaboration with SCI by introducing facility based management of the disease and increasing compliance to take medicines hence increasing treatment coverage.

Will you work in coordination with any related initiatives in the community?
Yes
Briefly describe the other initiatives and how they relate to this project.
The Ministry of Health has been carrying out a program through their SCI initiative, SCI has been supporting routine surveillance but the support is quite inadequate hence limited surveillance and supervision have been ongoing. In addition, SCI has been funding community mobilization to take drugs and to create awareness about prevention and control of the disease but again this has been inadequate and to date many people refuse to take drugs fearing side effects. Hence the fund will support extra sensitization costs. Please also note that the fund will also support Rotarians involved in the monitoring and evaluation of the project.
Please describe the training, community outreach, or educational programs this project will include.
The training will include;
- Training of general Health staff in schistosomiasis prevention, control methods and in disease management
- Improve schistosomiasis prevention and control issues in outreach service (Grant)
- Training of community volunteers to deliver treatments
- Advocacy at district level
- Advocacy in catchment area
- Training of laboratory staff
All trainings will be facilitated by Ministry of Health personnel in collaboration through VCD and Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Kampala-Ssese Islands. All health workers both general and laboratory staff, all beach management leaders (community leaders in charge of fishing), and all Community Volunteers will be trained to support schistosomiasis control efforts.
How were these needs identified?
Through a needs assessment done by the Rotary Club of Kampala Ssese Islands and collaboration of the Rotary Club of Cardiff. Already great analysis of the need has been done by the Ministry of Health through the Vector Control Division. It was also established that the need for this initiative is there when the Rotarians of Kampala Ssese Islands interacted with the District Health Officer Dr. Hillary Bitarakalamire in May 2018 during one of the Medical Outreaches.
What incentives (for example, monetary compensation, awards, certification, or publicity), will you use, if any, to encourage community members to participate in the project?
Routine recognition of the Health workers
Acknowledgement of the political heads of the communities during the mass sensitization Rotary Certificate awards
Transport refund and meals & stationery where necessary and improved health care both during out- reach services and in the facility.
List any community members or community groups that will oversee the continuation of the project after grant-funded activities conclude.
