Dear Project Supporters,
Good health and well-being is the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) and one of the focuses within that SDG is preventing Malaria. Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) that are being provided to families in Freetown are an effective ongoing source of protection to prevent Malaria by protecting families while they sleep at night. We appreciate your support that has provided long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) to families and individuals, like Mary and Fatmata, in Freetown.
"Over 6.2 million malaria deaths have been averted between 2000 and 2015, primarily of children under five years of age in sub-Saharan Africa. The global malaria incidence rate has fallen by an estimated 37 percent and the mortality rates by 58 percent. Goal- Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all." - https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/health/
Your continued support is appreciated as we strive to provide every family in Freetown with protective long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way in providing protective bed nets to every family in Freetown. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
With great appreciation,
Amy & The Develop Africa Team
