1,000 Mosquito Nets to Protect Against Malaria

Project Report | Mar 24, 2014
Thank you!

By Angie Roberts | Executive Director

We told you in December that the best time to purchase mosquito nets is during the off-season.  We recently returned from Ouelessebougou for our annual visit and our Field Director, Anounou, asked if we could invest in more nets now so that we can distribute even more in the fall.

We know nets are making a difference. We saw nets that we subsidized in village home, local CSCOMS and in the public hospital.  We attended a village health training in Farani and the village council members were proud to report that no one had died from malaria during the last year.  The success of our programs are the village councils and the trainings they go through to establish goals. The Alliance gives them the tools to reach those goals...and one of our "tools" is educating about malaria and then subsidizing the cost of the nets so that all families can stay safe.

 

Thanks for your support of this important project and enjoy the photos from our recent visit!
