About this Item

Wood frame, shadowbox presentation, archival glass. Measures 12" x 13". The pipe filter with a beaded lanyard is affixed to the matte, next to a color illustration of a group of pipe filters. The matte is signed by President Jimmy Carter along the bottom edge, with a full signature. The Carter Center began to spearhead the effort to eradicate Guinea Worm Disease in 1986. At the time, there were 3.5 million cases annually. Through their mitigation efforts, cases have fallen to less than 50 per year. This pipe filter prevents the intake of the parasite. Guinea Worm Disease is poised to be the first parasitic disease eradicated without the use of vaccines or drugs, largely due to the efforts of the Carter Center. Seller Inventory # 11164
