Dear Project partners
Earlier this year, 200 bed nets were distributed to family heads and other inhabitants of Tombo - thanks to your generous donations.
The Councillor of Ward 340 in Tombo, Amos Kalloh. said, "I am so appreciative of this good gesture for it will help protect my community people from malaria."
Tombo is the largest fishing community in Sierra Leone, with a population over 14,000 people. The main source of income is fishing. People all over Sierra Leone come to Tombo to buy fish whole sale, retail and for domestic consumption. Tombo has a lot of swamps making the community susceptible to a large mosquito population and high malaria incidence.
Osman Kamara one of the elders said, "The provision of bed nets will cause us to enjoy our sleep."
Thank you for your ongoing support that is helping us provide families with the much needed protection (bed nets) to prevent Malaria.
With great appreciation,
The Develop Africa Team
