Dear Friends, Family and supporters of Serendipity,
With our ongoing campaign to ensure that our children under five and pregnant women are safe from malaria, we have covered two communities in Gadan Tudun Fulani in Ungogo Local Governing Council in Kano through the distribution of Insecticide Treated Nets to every household making a total of 3,000 homes covered.
We moved on to Dausayi in Gezawa Local Governing Council in Kano where we have started distribution of Insecticide Treated Nets and our target is to reach 500 households by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Kano, where our project is located has the highest number of outpatient and in-patient cases from a research conducted by the Federal Ministry of health World Malaria Day report, 2022, 1 in 3 children dies from complications of Malaria.
This has further pushed us to increase on the distribution of ITNs to our communities. We have started with baby steps into this new community and hope to achieve our goal of reaching 500 households by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
Aside from the distribution of the ITNs we also teaching the community on how to use the nets effectively, care and sanitation of the environment in order to stop malaria breeding grounds for the vector. We have a team of volunteer community health workers who are helping us in the fight against malaria.
We have also partnered with two Radio Stations Arewa Radio and Freedom Radio that airs our jingles on prevention of malaria and the importance of sleeping under ITNS, the jingles are both in English and the Local Language Hausa in order for us to reach a wider coverage.
Through your kind donations we have started on this new phase of our goal to end Malaria in our rural communities and distributed 50 ITNS thus far in Layin Maigari unit in Dausayi Village of Gezawa, Kano and we will continue until we achieve our goal.
Our next steps are to continue with our campaign and reach our target of 500 households by end of first quarter 2023

Dear Friends, Family and supporters of Serendipity,
Malaria is still the number one killer of children and pregnant women in developing countries, of particular concern is the recent research conduct in Nigeria that shows that Kano has the highest cases of outpatient and inpatient cases of malaria (1 child in 3 by Federal Ministry of health World Malaria Day report, 2022). We are in a crisis situation in Northern Nigeria and with the rains and floods all over we hope these figures will not go up.
As part of our goal to ensure that every child under five and pregnant women are safe from malaria, we have included rapid diagnostic tests for every child and pregnant woman as part of our END MALARIA program in the rural communities, malaria education and prevention.
Our campaign took us to Gadan Tudun Fulani in Ungogo Local Government Council where we tested 40 children, 7 pregnant women and 3 elderly women but 13 of them tested positive. We thus distributed Insecticide Treated Nets to all of them and trained them on prevention of malaria. On our team is our volunteer community health worker, mallam Sagiru who has always been helpful to us in our cause to end Malaria. Gadan is one of the communities where we have distributed over 400 Insecticide Treated Nets and taught them on Malaria Education and prevention and happy to note that they are applying what they were taught.
Through your kind donations we have been able to provide over 5000 ITNs to children and pregnant women in Madobi, Gezawa, Ungogo, Kumbotso and Tofa but this is not enough as we intend to provide additional 1,000,000 more ITNs to our communities and we will not stop until every household sleeps under an ITN.
Our next steps are to continue with our campaign and reach additional 300 women and children by the end of the year.

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters of Serendipity,
Malaria remains the number one killer of children under the age of five. Most of our communities do not have adequate sanitation facilities in place to handle waste products and thus most of these wastes are left on the ground thus making them breeding grounds for malaria vectors and once left for long, it decays and seeps into ground causing leaks into any nearby source of water causing contamination.
In Kano State where our project is located has the highest cases of malaria related deaths as declared by the Federal Ministry of Health first Quarter report (source: Nigeria Health Watch Magazine Edition 101).
The rains have come and the situation might get worse. However there is a silver lining being this dreadful report about Kano and where our project is located because from January till date we have been able to provide over 1500 nets to families in communities especially to pregnant women and children under five years of age who are the most vulnerable. With all your kind donations over this quater we have been able to achive this. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Our next steps is provide more Insecticide Treated Nets, perform rapid diagnostic treatments, first line treatments and residual spraying in our communities. we intend to cover additional three more communities with a population of over 350 persons. We are determined to fight malaria and we rely on your continued support.

Dear Supporters, Friends and Family of Serendipity,
In our fight to end Malaria in our communities, we took our campaign to three local governing councils in Kano; Kunchi, Takai and Dambatta. In following with our mission to ensure that 1000 homes have Insecticide Treated Nets to sleep under, protecting them from Malaria and also ensuring that their environment is vector free. We have programs lined up leading up to end of the year to reduce malaria related cases in our communities.
Our campaign took us three local governing councils of Kunchi, Takai and Dambatta where a total of 100 women and children were given ITNS, they were also tested for malaria with rapid diagnostic test kits to ascertain those with malaria, out of the 100 women and children tested, 30% of them where found to have Malaria and thus were given first line treatment.
We also did indoor and outdoor spraying of the communities, destroying breeding grounds of malaria vector. Our second stage in fighting malaria is we have started running radio campaigns in both English and Hausa which will run for two months leading to World Malaria Day so we have a wider coverage in ensuring or pregnant women and children sleep under ITNS.
We thank you for the support your have shown to us that our women and children do not fall ill because of Malaria which amounts for every 1 in 100,000 deaths amongst children in developing countries through your kind donations to stop MALARIA.

Dear Supporters, Friends and Family of Serendipity,
We have the vulnerable, the weak amongst us and when it comes to policy making and inclusiveness we tend to forget about these groups, and they form an important part of our lives. Our mission is to ensure that 1000 additional children are given Insecticide Treated Mosquito Nets to prevent them from getting Malaria and also taught on how to keep their environment clean and free from Malaria breeding grounds.
Our campaign took us to a school of children living with disabilities, a primary school that caters for the deaf, handicapped and the blind where we distributed 25 pieces of Insecticide Treated Nets with your kind donations.
We also trained them with the help of their teachers on how to keep their environment clean, we also intend to distribute more to the pupils before schools are closed for the holidays because the children come from a background with little or no knowledge of the importance of sleeping under Insecticide treated nets and causes of malaria breeding grounds.
We sincerely thank you for the support your have shown to us that our children do not fall ill as a result of Malaria which amounts for every 1 in 100,000 deaths amongst children in developing countries through your kind donations to stop MALARIA.
