Our Team is Fighting Chagas Disease*Bringing Health and Healing to Families
• Silent killer among the poor in Bolivia.
• It is transmitted by the Vinchuca insect, which
thrives in adobe walls and thatched roofs.
• Parasite enters the victim’s bloodstream quietly
destroying their internal organs.
• With simple home renovations, infection can be
prevented.
• However, the costs for medical care and
construction supplies are far beyond the means of
the people most affected.
