Mosquito nets and Malaria treatment

"Mozzy" Project video clip

Facts & figures

Did you know that for as little as £5 you could actually save someone’s life? It sounds amazing but it is true! That small sum of money will buy malaria treatment for one person that could save the life of the sufferer.

A report by the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs stated that ‘In Uganda it is estimated that 353 Ugandans die every day from malaria, mostly children and pregnant women’.

Through our contacts in Uganda we know that we can provide treatment for malaria for a child or adult for around £5.

Prevention is better than cure and we can also provide treated mosquito nets for £10. The treatment would be provided through Kimywanyi Health Centre which is church founded and managed.

Reaching out to others

Over the past 8 months we have raised over £4,500 for this valuable work!

580 nets were distributed on this occasion which was attended by the Bishop himself.
