FGS affects an estimated 56 million women and girls, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa .
If left untreated it can lead to reproductive organ damage, infertility and an increased susceptibility to HIV.
Symptoms, including fever, pelvic pain, bloody discharge and itching, burning genitals, can be similar to those for sexually transmitted infections.
There are no accurate figures on the numbers of women with FGS as there is no standardised testing.
Zenabu Baya , a 44-year-old farmer, has to walk 30 minutes each way’ to the murky lake that is her family’s water source.
The parasites can be killed if water is left to sit for 24 hours before use, many households don’t have space to store it.
