Prevent Malaria in Sierra Leone with Mosquito Nets

Dear Project Supporters,

Thank you for your continued support that is providing more families with bed nets and saving more lives from malaria.

Since the last report, we have raised $50. These funds were used to distribute 5 nets. Aruna and Mariama (pictured) are two kids who received a net. They send their appreciation to YOU for providing these nets.   

We are actively working in concert with the WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030 – adopted by the World Health Assembly in May 2015. The Strategy sets ambitious but achievable global targets, including: 

• Reducing malaria case incidence by at least 90% by 2030.
• Reducing malaria mortality rates by at least 90% by 2030.
• Eliminating malaria in at least 35 countries by 2030.
• Preventing a resurgence of malaria in all countries that are malaria-free. 

This Strategy was the result of an extensive consultative process that spanned 2 years and involved the participation of more than 400 technical experts from 70 Member States. It is based on 3 key pillars:

• Ensuring universal access to malaria prevention, diagnosis, and treatment;
• Accelerating efforts towards elimination and attainment of malaria-free status; 
• Transforming malaria surveillance into a core intervention."

The bed nets that you are helping to provide to families is one of the three key pillars to the goal of reducing malaria by 90%. Your donation is helping to take us one life at a time closer to this goal. These malaria nets are a proven way to prevent malaria. Thanks to your generosity, we are continuing to provide bed nets to families in need.   

We are additionally providing diagnosis and treatment of malaria. We are convinced that together we will one day see a world with no malaria.  We are excitedly looking forward to this and taking steps to get there.

This week, on Thursday, October 5th from 9:00 am EDT to Midnight EDT, your donation up to $1000 will receive prorated matching through a $50,000 Incentive fund. New recurring donations up to $100 per donor per project on this Bonus Day will get an additional 100% match on the initial donation as long as they remain active for three months.  Donating on Thursday is a great way to make your donation go further.

Thanks so much for your on-going support

With great appreciation,
The Develop Africa Team
