well, it is finally here… today is World Malaria Day.
Malaria kills 1 million people each year. Most who die of this treatable, preventable disease are children. A donation to Compassion’s Malaria Intervention Fund helps Compassion-assist children and their families to receive the resources they so desperately need to fight this deadly disease, including:
•mosquito nets to protect children from mosquito bites
•malaria prevention education
•access to malaria medical treatment for those struggling with the disease
did you know that all it takes to prevent this devastation a $10 net?
A little goes a long way:
•$10 will provide one mosquito net.
•$30 will provide three mosquito bed nets.
•$50 will provide five mosquito bed nets.
•and so on…
