Did you know that YOUR donation / support of this project is helping to accomplish something effective and proven! Here are 2 snippets / resources that confirm this:
1. The families that we have provided with nets now have a dramatically reduced or zero incidence of malaria. Thanks to your support - there has been a dramatic drop in illness and loss of time due to illness - at work and school. One such beneficiary is Randy F (pictured). Randy lives in the Wellington suburb of Freetown. He is a carpenter and the main provider of a family of four, with monthly income of $50 - not enough to cover the basic needs of the home. His family lives in a single bedroom apartment with electricity but no running water.
When we interviewed Randy, he confirmed that his family is now having interruption and mosquito-bite-free sleep each night. Since he received a net 13 months ago, no one in his family has had malaria. This is significant because malaria used to be a common occurrence - with each person getting malaria between 1-3 times each year! Randy and his family are deeply grateful to Global Giving and Develop Africa donors for the provision of the health-preserving bed net.
This is truly exciting news - to know that Your support is making a proven, verified impact.
