Shocking isn't it? And most of these deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa, including Kenya.
And what is just as distressing is that these deaths are unnecessary. Malaria can be controlled. Drugs are available to cure people who have contracted the disease.
Unfortunately, many people cannot afford them, or live too far in the bush to be able to get to a clinic or dispensary.
KCIS is planning a major drive in the New Year to combat the malaria problem, with drugs for those who have malaria, and an education and training program to help control where mosquitoes can breed. If we can control mosquito breeding, we can reduce the instances of malaria.
Our education program, aimed primarily at schools, will make people aware of unnecessary standing water where mosquitoes breed, and eradicate them.
BUT WE NEED FUNDING!
We need funding to buy the drugs, funding to set up dispensaries where they are not available, funding to employ people to work in the dispensaries, etc.
Please, if you can help, visit our KCIS website where there is a PayPal account where you help save the lives of children.
Even if you can only give a few Dollars/Pounds/Euros. If enough people give just a little, it will amount to a lot. If we can get this project started, we ... you ... will be saving lives!
