MALARIA SUPPORT FOR AREA OF HIGH PREVALENCE

Apart from malaria prevention programmes the majority of our work has been done in the Kazungula and Livingstone Districts in the Southern Province of Zambia. This year for the first time we are working in Kalomo and Mulobezi Districts, the latter is in the Western Province of Zambia. This area has a high prevalence of malaria and last year recorded one of the highest numbers of malaria cases in the nation. Thanks to receiving a substantial grant we are about to distribute almost 3,800 mosquito nets to school children and teachers with the aim of reducing new cases of malaria. This is the first phase of a vital three-year grant programme.

While I was visiting Simonga Rural Health Centre, where we donated equipment as well as recently completing a facility for under-five clinics, family planning and HIV testing, I saw three children recovering from malaria. After identifying where the children lived the next day, we visited their community and donated mosquito nets to all the children and teachers at their pre-school and primary. This will help to prevent further transmission.

Malaria remains one of the biggest killers of man. Because priority is given to under-fives and pregnant women, school children are left unpretected. Therefore we provide mosquito nets for school going children and their teachers. Each pupil takes ownership of a net and the Ministry of Health will monitor the effectiveness and send a report to us at the end of the year. 

Until the malaria vaccinations are widely available prevention is vital. A mosquito nets costs just £4.50 ($6) and could save a child’s life.
