No More Missed School for Zainab

Zainab with net

Zainab is a brilliant young girl from Sierra Leone who loves to go to and excels at school.   Her schooling has been affected negatively by insufficient sleep due to the buzzing, mosquitoes’ bites and also bouts of the killer malaria disease.

Her parents are both school teachers and sometimes their salaries are not paid promptly by the government.  This has introduced an extra economic strain on the family and as a result Zainab has had to, unfortunately, cope and sleep without a mosquito net.  This has resulted in periodic bouts of malaria that have made her miss school for 1 – 2 weeks a few times a year.

Zainab Resting Under Her Net

Zainab was delighted to receive a net as this helps guarantee sleep and freedom from malaria.  Now she will no longer have to miss school from malaria.
