With the emergence of the Zitka Virus, headlines around the world are focused on Mosquitos and the Americas.
While the country of Mali hasn't been affected, we are deeply concerned for those countries, families, and people who have been.
And while this virus rages on, Africans still face the same health challenges that kill so many of them annually.
Malaria, transmitted by mosquitos, remains one of the top health issues they face.
Mosquito nets are the only method of protection and typically cost $10.
For those who live in extreme poverty (less than $1 per day) a $10 net seems prohibitive.
The Alliance subsidizes the cost of the net so that villagers only pay $1 for a net that can protect a family of four up to three years.
Thanks for your continued support of this critical initiative!
Iniche!
