In many developing nations, malaria is one of the leading threats to the life of a child, resulting in some 750,000 child deaths per year globally. That’s more than 2,000 children a day. Everyday, 320 Ugandans die of Malaria 80% of these are children below 5 years. Malaria will be prevented by the project providing 300 orphans and other vulnerable with mosquito nets, provide malaria prevention workshops, and insecticides to 100 families. Beneficiaries: 300 orphans and other vulnerable
Malaria makes AIDS or HIV+ status worse. Nearly 800,000 children under 5 die from malaria each year. Without treatment, a child with acute malaria may die within 24 hours. Everyday Malaria kills 320 Ugandans, 80% 0f these are children below 5 years. Sleeping under a treated bed net, spraying insecticide inside homes, and using the right anti-malarial drugs dramatically reduce the impact of malaria. The targeted 300 needy children and their families can hardly afford to pay for any of these.
