Challenge

Malaria kills 30 Nigerian children every hour, the spate of malnutrition worsens. Rural dwellers are the worst hit because of poor or lack of access to quality health care. Akinyele local government area is one of the largest local government with a high number of hard to reach communities in Oyo state, Nigeria. Malaria treatment and nourishing diet is almost a nightmare for some of the children. This project seeks to save up to 1000 children within the geographical location.

Solution
