EMERGENCY MALARIA PREVENTION

Each year, the rainy season in Bunia carries with it the scourge of deadly malaria that preys on children and the most vulnerable. In order to reduce the risk of malaria at St. Kizito, this month we’re carrying out a major infrastructure project to drain stagnant water around the compound that acts as a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This involves building a series of cement drains and channels that can safely divert the water to a sealed catchment area. The project will cost an estimated $5,000 -- in addition to repairing dozens of window screens throughout the complex and securing fresh mosquito netting to keep over 100 children safe as they study, play, and sleep.

We are reaching out to our core community to see if they will consider both making a donation and sharing this special campaign with their own community. We need to address this issue as quickly as possible and we appreciate your consideration.

Thank you,
