Today is World Malaria Day and MedTreks is proud to announce a new project called "Kids Helping Kids" that focuses on Malaria Prevention and Eradication.
The project aims to purchase 5,000 new long-lasting insecticide treated bednets for Village HopeCore by August 2019. The idea of the project was created by one of the MedTreks Faculty, Jenny Denger and her two sons Crixus (6) and Tayden (8), who will be traveling to Kenya with Jenny and her husband as part of the MedTreks team this August.
The boys are working to raise the funds and also helping to spread information about malaria that kills a child every 2 minutes, yet it is a preventable illness with low-cost interventions such as bednets.

Asante Sana,
The MedTreks Team.
