Net Provides a Story For a Future Journalist

Kadiatu, her father, mother and four brothers lives in a single bedroom apartment in a family house without electricity and no running water. Kadiatu’s father is a painter with a monthly income of around $70, that barely supports the home. Her mother was a petty trader but has stopped doing business due to poor health.

Kadiatu runs errands for people to raise money for lunch. She enjoys reading and listening to music. Kadiatu sleeps on a savanna (grass) bed. She wants to be a journalist when she grows up.   As a journalist, she plans to write about health issues that the people in her community are experiencing.  She hopes to help combat sickness through spreading information.

Our journalist-to-be was very happy to receive a treated mosquito net.  Thanks to the protection afforded by this net Kadiatu is now beyond the reach of mosquitoes and malaria.  She looks forward to writing about the benefits of this net – from personal experience.
