Malaria remains a deadly threat in Sierra Leone, especially for children under five. According to WHO estimates, approximately 6,646 people died from malaria in 2024. Yet malaria is preventable. Develop Africa is helping protect vulnerable families by providing long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets that reduce exposure to malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Your donation can help protect children, prevent illness, and save lives.
Malaria places a heavy burden on families in Sierra Leone, particularly those living in poverty. Young children and pregnant women face the greatest risks of severe illness and death. Many families lack adequate protection against mosquito bites and struggle to afford timely treatment. Beyond the health risks, malaria keeps children out of school, prevents parents from working, and forces families to spend scarce resources on medical care.
Develop Africa distributes long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets to vulnerable families in Sierra Leone, helping protect children and adults from malaria-carrying mosquitoes while they sleep. These nets are a proven, cost-effective way to reduce malaria transmission. By providing families with this essential protection, we aim to prevent infections, reduce serious illness, and save lives. Your support helps more families sleep safely and stay healthy.
Reducing malaria infections can transform lives and strengthen communities. Healthier children can attend school regularly, parents can work more consistently, and families can spend less on medical treatment. Over time, these benefits can improve household financial stability, support educational success, and reduce preventable deaths. By investing in malaria prevention today, donors help create healthier families, stronger communities, and brighter futures in Sierra Leone.
