The DEADLIEST PREDATOR in Africa

Every day 2,000 children die from malaria — more then 75 percent of these deaths are African children under the age of 5. This preventable and treatable disease is killing children.

Mosquito Nets Save Lives!

20 nets = 1 child’s life

Statistically, 20 long-lasting insecticide treated nets installed = one child’s life saved.

This is because the impact on mortality rates of bednet use is one life saved per 160 bednet years.

Each long-lasting insecticide treated net is effective for 4 years and on average 2 children sleep under each net.

Therefore 20 nets x the 4 year life of each net x 2 children under each net = 160 bednet years… = 1 life saved.

Each LLIN costs US$5. That’s US$100 a life.

Using the above figures – can we save the lives of 50 Children in Ruhanga ?????

I have accepted an offer from the charity www.againstmalaria.com to supply 1,000 top grade mosquito nets to over 400 homes around Uganda Lodge at a cost of just £3 each. These LLIN nets are made from material that is impregnated with insecticides and they never need respraying – they are effective for the life of the net which is usually betwen 5 and 10 years.

Uganda Lodge fits the criteria for being a high “at risk” area for malaria. Over the next few years having this blanket coverage in place would stop the mosquitoes from biting and passing on the malaria parasite. It will potentially save many lives – especially those of young children, pregnant women and people of all ages with low immune systems.

CAN YOU HELP by making a donation towards supplying some of the nets – or alternatively introducing me to someone who may help?

I have to get £1,000 deposit together by mid-July to confirm the order and then will be allocated a fund-raising page on their website to help raise the other £2,000

Please email or call me with constructive ideas or with offers of help

Can YOU spare £3.50p ($6) a month for a young child’s School Fees…???
