According to the World Health Organisation:
To avoid contracting malaria you must avoid by a mosquito bites. However, when you live in a poor community where the income is below $2 per day most people cannot afford to buy a mosquito net nor use other preventative methods. Sleeping under a mosquito net, remains as one of the top recommendations by the World Health Organisation to prevent malaria.
After a prolonged drought Zambia is now in the rainy season, which should continue until April. This is the time when malaria is most prevalent, and cases increase. Our ‘mosquito nets for schools’ programme continues to be effective and is helping to protect school children in remote areas of the Kazungula District.
In 2025 our aim is reach out to more areas where malaria is most prevalent and deemed to be ‘malaria hot spots’ by the Ministry of Health in Zambia.
Thank you to everyne who has donated to this vitial programme. We are appealing for more support - a mosquito nets costs only $10 and could save a child’s life!
