Sophie, because of your donation, these five individuals have a defense against mosquitoes and consequently malaria. They are all so grateful! Thank you so much!

Marie is twelve years old. She lives with her stepfather, mother, two brothers, and a sister in a two bedroom apartment with no running water and no electricity.

Her father abandoned the family eight years ago. Her mother is a petty trader and the main provider of the home with monthly income of $60, which is not enough to cover the basic family needs. When times are hard at home Marie does light errands for people in her neighborhood to survive. The vitamin supplements provided by your generous gift will provide Marie with nutrition to supplement her diet.

Thank you!

IBRAHIM, DAUDA, and SALAMATU (left to right) thank you donating malaria nets!. The father is a petty trader and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $60, which is not enough to cover the basic family needs, including malaria prevention. Added to his responsibilities, the father wants to enter college to work toward a degree. This way he will be able to compete for jobs that will give him more money to run the affairs of his family. Unfortunately he does not have the financial power to pursue this ambition at this time. His wife is a housewife, unskilled to have a job. She wants to engage in petty trading but her husband’s income cannot support this initiative.
Dauda is their second child and finds himself in an environment not conducive for his well being and health.
Mosquito nets now help to protect this family from malaria. Thank you, Young, for your kind gift.
