Challenge

Malaria treatment in Ugandan local health clinic is costly,people in rural Uganda cannot afford treatment, many deaths despite prevention are still recorded. Children below five years are the most affected with malaria. According to the Ministry of Health (Uganda), currently 90% of 100,000 recorded malaria deaths in Uganda are children, especially in rural areas who can't access hospitals.

Solution

The program will train selected local communities to make organic mosquito repellent soap, candles and body jelly. These are products that are manufactured with organic essential oils, citronella, eucalyptus, lavender which repel mosquitos up to six hours

Long-Term Impact

We are committed towards eradicating Malaria in Uganda. We aim to reduce malaria deaths by up to 50% in the first five years of operations mainly in children below five years of age in rural communities through our product and active malaria sensitization work.
