This one I pulled up from the comments so it's easier to see:
a program to pray for ...Bolivia is home to one of the world's largest number of people suffering from Chagas' disease, with 1.8 million already infected and 3.7 million at risk for the disease. It is transmitted by insects that hide in the cracks of poorly constructed houses. Since 2000, a Catholic Relief Services program in Bolivia has been working to eliminate the breeding ground for these insects by improving the living conditions of more than 17,500 families in four communities in the southern region of the country. The program aims to stem the transmission of this disease by helping families to construct new homes or improve their existing homes with new latrines, kitchens and cement floors. In addition to building houses, the project provides training on health and hygiene and helps foster communication strategies within communities.
Thanks, B!
