Dear Project Supporters,
Did you know that statistically, mosquitoes kill more people in one day than a shark does in a century?
Thanks to your support, however, we are working to change those statistics by providing bed nets. You can see 2 kids in the photos with their new nets. These long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) provide an effective barrier and protection from mosquito bites while they sleep. They are deeply grateful to you for providing safe, undisturbed sleep.
"Of all the illnesses mosquitoes spread, malaria is the worst by far. More than 200 million people suffer from it every year, and a child dies from malaria every other minute of every day."-Bill Gates-Gatesnotes
We are all coming together to say that "Malaria Must Die". We will continue to provide bed nets to families until every person is protected from Malaria. We are additionally providing diagnosis and treatment of malaria. We believe that one day we will see a world with no malaria. Thank you for your ongoing support!
With great appreciation,
Amy & the Develop Africa Team
