Thank you for investing in NETwork Against Malaria. Our efforts to protect students against malaria and awareness in Katulikire are spreading throughout Uganda. Recently, NETwork has been featured on national tv and in the national newspaper in Uganda. These articles discussed our distribution at Conram Primary School, a distribution you made possible. The articles detail how students at Conram use 5 languages to communicate. Many students in the area miss school due to malaria sickness but most parents cannot afford the treatment. At most health centers malaria is the leading diagnosis, especially for students between 0 and 12 years old. It is also true that few students can afford to prevent the disease by purchasing malaria nets. This is where NETwork comes in!! Despite the high incidence of malaria in the Katulikire region, few NGOs focus on school children in the area.
Francis Banura, our volunteer, confirmed that surveys have indicated that absenteeism has drastically reduced in areas where NETwork has distributed nets.
Please take the time to watch the video and read the newspaper article! You can see hear about malaria from the eye of our recipients and volunteers!
