Dear Project supporters,
Malaria is a major health concern in Sierra Leone, particularly during the rainy season. It is the most common cause of death among children under 5 years old.
In an effort to reduce malaria, fifty mosquito nets treated with insecticide were distributed to families across the Morthain community. The mosquito nets distributed create an effective barrier and provide protection from mosquito bites while families sleep. Each of the families that received a bed net was very grateful for the added protection against malaria while they sleep.
Your continued support is greatly appreciated and is helping provide long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) also called bed nets or mosquito nets to more families and individuals in Sierra Leone.
We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here. 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
