Accomplishment: Dengue control

Dengue is a mosquito-born disease. At the end of the rainy season in 2013, Nicaragua experienced an outbreak of dengue.

As the Center for Disease Control in the United States noted, dengue prevention required a coordinated, community-based effort to increase awareness of the disease, how to recognize it, and how to control the mosquitoes that transmit it. So the kids got busy with the community.
"We went door to door to tell people about dengue and to show them easy ways to stop mosquitos from breeding in their yards."
