Double the impact because a net is shared with a sibling

Sulaiman happily holding his new net

Sulaiman attends the United Methodist Church Primary School in Wellington, very close to where he lives with his father, mother, brother and sisters in a two bedroom apartment with no running water and no electricity. His father is a painter and his mother is a gardener with a combined monthly income of US$ 70 – not enough to cover the basic family needs.

Sulaiman walks to school with a pair of plastic shoes because his parents cannot afford to buy him nice shoes. Sulaiman likes going to school but hates being sent home from school, as is usually the case, due to late payment of school fees. He studies using a kerosene lamp at night and sleeps on a bed made of grass with his brother.

Sulaiman shares the net with his brother

Sulaiman was very happy to receive a net and this will keep him safe from mosquitoes.  Thanks to Daryl, this simple protection will keep him and his brother free from malaria.
