New Malaria Project in 2010!

We’re happy to announce a new Eradicate Malaria project.

The goal is simple: distribute 6,000 nets to cover every sleeping space in the upper Malen chiefdom in Sierra Leone.

The distribution of nets will take place in the summer of 2010 (June to August) and will follow the same approach as our 2007 and 2009 projects, making sure that:

• Everyone is covered by a net instead of just covering pregnant woman and children under five.
• All nets are distributed house-to-house where we use the opportunity to talk to everyone in each village and make sure that every single family knows how (and why) to use their nets.
• We use Long Lasting Insecticide-treated Nets that last for at least 3 years even when washed. These nets actively kill mosquitoes and other insects.
