Dear Project Supporters,
Thanks to your donations we were able to test 6 additional children. We were able to provide another child, Amara, with life-saving malaria medication when his test came back positive.
Through our proactive action, we stopped together malaria attack in its tracks - before it escalated.
Malaria is the leading cause of death among children in Africa. While mosquito bed nets provide very effective protection while asleep, they do not protect children from exposure to mosquitoes in the early evening (before bedtime) when mosquitoes are active. Malaria causes unnecessary sickness, hospitalization, and deaths which can easily be prevented.
YOU help save Amara from suffering an agonizing illness and possibly death. A reduction in illnesses and deaths by malaria will make it possible for more people to participate in building stronger families, communities and the nation.
Your continued generosity is helping prevent malaria and treat malaria is greatly appreciated.
With great appreciation,
The Develop Africa Team
