Hello net, bye-bye mosquitoes and malaria!

Alpha - Under new net - Bye-bye malaria and mosquitoes

Alpha Kamara belongs to a polygamous family.   He has lost his dad.  Alpha’s mother is a petty trader and a dry wood (cooking fuel) seller.  She is the sole provider for the family.   Her monthly income of US $70 is insufficient to cover basic family needs.  During the rainy season, when dry wood is difficult to come by, Alpha’s family has difficulty affording even a day’s meal.

Due to her financial situation, she had not been able to afford a net for Alpha.  She and Alpha were very happy to receive a treated net.    She was excited over how they have been rescued from mosquito bites at night.  Alpha had been suffering periodic bouts of malaria due to exposure to mosquitoes.  With the net they will be free from this deadly disease.

In their local dialect – Krio – Alpha shouted – “Hello net, bye-bye mosquitoes and malaria!  Good riddance!”
