Safe and Secure From the Reach of Mosquitoes and Malaria

Siaka
Dear Scott,

Siaka lives in Freetown, Sierra Leone in a very humble house with no running water or electricity.  He loves to play soccer and is an avid learner at school. Siaka’s father is a worker for a local construction company helping to lay bricks. His mother currently is out of a job and is considering starting a small business selling essential items from the front of their rented apartment.

Because of the meager household income, Siaka’s parents had not been able to purchase a treated mosquito net for him.  Siaka had been sleeping exposed to mosquito bites and had fallen ill from malaria at least twice in the past year.

With this background in mind, understandably, they were extremely happy to receive a mosquito net.  This new net will keep him safe and secure from the reach of mosquitoes and malaria.  This brought a big relief to Siaka and his parents.

Thanks Scott for making a difference and helping make this possible!
