Dear Life Savers,

Your continued support is greatly appreciated and is helping provide long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) also called bed nets or mosquito nets to families and individuals in Sierra Leone. These mosquito nets create an effective barrier and provide protection from mosquito bites while families sleep. Because of the mosquito nets they received, children like Marina & Festus pictured here can now focus on their education and not on malaria.

Festus just finished class 4 and he loves playing soccer and dream of one working professionally at a bank. Marina just graduated from nursery school and loves to draw and create beautiful pictures. Her dream is to become a creative artist.

Marina & Festus are both future leaders of Sierra Leone and their Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) will provide them with an ongoing source of protection to prevent Malaria.

Your continued support is appreciated as we strive to provide more families in Sierra Leone with protective long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here.

For only $10 you can save lives by providing a family with a mosquito net. Help Draw the Line against Malaria!

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
