Dear Family, Friends and Supporters of Serendipity,
Malaria remains the number one killer of children under the age of five. Most of our communities do not have adequate sanitation facilities in place to handle waste products and thus most of these wastes are left on the ground thus making them breeding grounds for malaria vectors and once left for long, it decays and seeps into ground causing leaks into any nearby source of water causing contamination.
In Kano State where our project is located has the highest cases of malaria related deaths as declared by the Federal Ministry of Health first Quarter report (source: Nigeria Health Watch Magazine Edition 101).
The rains have come and the situation might get worse. However there is a silver lining being this dreadful report about Kano and where our project is located because from January till date we have been able to provide over 1500 nets to families in communities especially to pregnant women and children under five years of age who are the most vulnerable. With all your kind donations over this quater we have been able to achive this. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Our next steps is provide more Insecticide Treated Nets, perform rapid diagnostic treatments, first line treatments and residual spraying in our communities. we intend to cover additional three more communities with a population of over 350 persons. We are determined to fight malaria and we rely on your continued support.
