Dear Project Supporters,
Your support has helped us provide mosquito nets to families and children who are now sleeping well at night, free from mosquito bites and malaria. Salamatu, Mariama and John (pictured) are so grateful for your support.
Statistics indicate that less than 10% of children sleep under protective nets in Sierra Leone, where malaria is still a frequent and killer disease.
Malaria is sadly still the most common disease. In the past year, at least 2 known kids that Develop Africa has supported with school supplies have passed away.
Each net we are able to provide these families saves lives and significantly lowers the risk of getting malaria. This risk is further reduced by provided training on the importance of their use. As a result of these interventions, families are healthier and live longer.
Providing bed nets is an ongoing project until 100% of the children in Sierra Leone sleep under a protective bed net. We want to change the statistics and prevent Malaria, which will save thousands of lives, mostly young children, each year.
Thank you so much for your support!
With great appreciation,
The Develop Africa Team
