Indonesia termasuk negara berkembang yang tidak terlepas dari masalah kesehatan penyakit kecacingan. Prevalensi penyakit kecacingan tinggi karena indonesia beriklim tropis, memiliki kelembapan udara yang tinggi sehingga memungkinkan perkembangan cacing semakin baik. Selain itu, tingkat perekonomian dan sosial masyarakat indonesia yang belum merata menyebabkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat untuk menjaga kebersihan diri masih kurang. Beberapa hasil penelitian menunjukkan kecacingan lebih banyak menyerang pada anak-anak SD / Madrasah Ibthidayah (MD dikarenakan aktifitas mereka yang lebih banyak berhubungan dengan tanah. Pencemaran tanah merupakan penyebab terjadinya transmisi telur cacing dari tanah kepada manusia melalui tangan atau kuku yang mengandung telur cacing lalu masuk ke mulut melalui makanan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka telah dilaksanakan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan sasaran siswa/siswi di SDN 12 Limran yaitu penyuluhan kesehatan tentang pencegahan penyakit kecacingan. Melalui pengabdian kepada masyarakat diharapkan siswa/siswi di SDN 12 Limran dapat mengetahui dan memahami tentang penularan penyakit kecacingan. Metode yang digunakan yaitu ceramah dan demonstrasi.
