Dear Friends, Family and Supporters of Serendipity,
World Malaria Day came and it was a day of reflection of work we have thus far done in Madobi town. One reason was that we aimed to reach our mark of reducing the scourge of malaria prevalent on the children of Madobi and how effective our trainings have been on community thus we launched a project which spanned for one week "Precious Lives". It was a project within this project reviewing stories about the lives of three children who battled with malaria one of which we had earlier reported.
What is so unique about these children (Ibrahim, Maude and Zahrau - Not real names) was that at their young age they has dreams of becoming a doctor, Nurse and a pharmacist and were ready to fight the malaria that was ravaging their community through campaigning in their own little way after their lives had been saved from recurrent bouts of malaria.
A total of over 70 mosquito nets were given within that period and now as most of the mothers now admit that sleeping under the nets with their children reduces mosquito bites.
A short survey during the review and distribution also brought to our attention a decrease in the rate of mothers taking their children to the clinic for malaria related illness. All the mothers who have previously received bed nets from us stated that they have not been to the hospital except for their normal weighing of their children.
Our goal of zero malaria infection in Madobi is hopefully showing its fruits as we encourage the mothers to continue to make sure that they and their children sleep under mosquito treated bed nets and with our three new ambassadors they help us to campaign against malaria.
We would appreciate your feedback however on work we have thus far done and hope you continue to support us in all possible ways.
Please feel free to contact us; like our facebook/serenhealthcare, follow us on twitter serendipityHea1, LinkedIn/SamirahFaruk or via our website on www.serendipityhealthcare.org.
Yours Faithfully,
