End Malaria in Children of Rural communities, Kano

Dear Friends, Supporters and Family of Serendipity Healthcare Foundation,

Every day a person dies of a malaria related ailment and every second a child dies of malaria in Africa and in Kano Nigeria. Kano, Nigeria has been grappling with malaria related cases since1960 and in Madobi the situation prior to Serendipity intervention was in dire straits with the percentage number of deaths of children at 7>10 cases but now we are pleased to state that with the report from the primary healthcare centre it has reduced significantly to 2 per 10 cases.

With our recent campaign on enlightening the women in Madobi on the need to sleep under Inseciticide Treated Nets and the campaign for pregnant women to attend ante natal clases to be given ACT drugs; it has paid off as there is a ripple effect of our on going campaign of malaria prevention through the local media.

During the period we covered three additional wards where through your kind donation, we distributed 60 Insecticide Treated Nets to women and children in the communities.

We are yet to gain audience with the state government on the research for new solutions to malaria prevention especially in the area of Zika like we reported in our last report; however, we continously appreciate your support towards our project and we would like any feedback or advice you can give to us in regards to the project.

Yours Faithfully,

Fatima Lawani
