Dear Project Supporters,
Thanks in part to your donations, we have proactively started testing children in Wellington, Sierra Leone for Malaria.
Sixteen tests were provided by your contributions. Two of the 16 students tested positive for malaria! We caught the illness at the very early stage. Thankfully, we were able to treat them right away, preventing the full onset of malaria and illness. This proactive action and instant remedy were possible because of YOUR support.
With your on-going support, many more lives will be saved - by doing the simple malaria test and then immediately treating the children who test positive. About a year ago, we lost two children to malaria and we want to ensure that doesn't happen again - because of a lack of life-saving medicine.
Our lofty goal is to ensure malaria tests and medication is available freely to all kids that need this. Please help us make this a reality. Join us in saving lives through life-saving testing and treatment.
With great appreciation,
The Develop Africa Team
