Mosquito nets for our nursery children
In the 21st century, Malaria is still one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, which is responsible for over one million deaths annually. It hits Africa particularly hard – especially children under 5.
Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite which causes the serious form of the disease, is transmitted by the sting of a female Anopheles mosquito from infected to healthy people.
A total of 35 mosquito nets were given to school children. Each child was awarded protection from Malaria.
Malaria is one of the killer disease in the Mbale area and children below 5 years of age are the most affected. The HOPE TEAM recently distributed mosquito nets to protect the children from Malaria.
