Prevent Malaria in Sierra Leone with Mosquito Nets

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for your generous support in protecting young children like Gracious from Bo, Sierra Leone. Thanks to your donations, Gracious and other vulnerable children now have the life-saving protection of a mosquito net to sleep under each night. This may seem like a small item, but its impact is profound.

Malaria remains one of the leading causes of illness and death in Sierra Leone, particularly for children under the age of 5, who are at the greatest risk. For families like Gracious’s, access to mosquito nets is critical in preventing the spread of this dangerous disease. Every night that a child sleeps safely under a net, the risk of contracting malaria is significantly reduced, giving them a better chance to grow, thrive, and pursue their dreams.

Your contributions have made this possible. By providing these nets, you are directly helping to safeguard the health of the most vulnerable in our communities. You are giving children like Gracious not only protection but also hope for a healthier future. Your support allows parents to rest a little easier, knowing their children are safer from the dangers of malaria.

Thank you for being part of this life-saving effort. With your continued partnership, we can reach more children and families across Sierra Leone, ensuring they have the tools they need to stay healthy and strong.

With deep appreciation,
Amy & The Develop Africa Team

We are deeply grateful for your support, which is helping provide long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), also known as bed nets or mosquito nets, to families and individuals in Sierra Leone. These mosquito nets create an effective barrier against mosquito bites, protecting families as they sleep.

Thanks to the mosquito nets they received, children like Desmond, pictured above, can now focus on their education instead of worrying about malaria. Desmond will be starting his first year of junior secondary school this fall.

In addition to Desmond, 28 other beneficiaries and their families recently received mosquito nets in Bo.

Your continued support is invaluable as we strive to provide more families in Sierra Leone with protective long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). Please share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
