Togo: 6 — Malaria prevention

Malaria in the whole of Africa is killing many children on a daily basis. As a result, mosquito nets are used to protect the children when they are sleeping.

While speaking to parents of the 500 children receiving bedkits today, we asked, "How many of you have mosquito nets at home?"

Not one hand went up.

So the Long Lasting Insecticidal Mosquito Net that is in the Togo bedkit is greatly appreciated by both the parents and the children.
