Every minute a child dies from malaria. This is a simple fact of life in many countries today, including Uganda. There is another fact that runs alongside such tragedy and that is that it is possible to prevent this disease from being spread and we are able to treat children suffering from it. Many of these deaths are preventable. It is that simple.
Helping Hands in Uganda works on three levels to ensure that our children enjoy every minute of their lives. Janepher and Florence provide fun and interactive health education lessons for the youngest children in schools as well as informing parents of the key facts in small group settings where practicalities can be discussed. Our team also provides mosquito nets annually to all nursery children and finally, Joy tests any children presenting with malaria symptoms and treats all showing a positive result. In ten years we have not lost one child to malaria. We want to maintain that record and with the support of our friends we will aim to do just that. You can help today by giving online through MyDonate... £6 will buy a net for a child and £2 will provide lifesaving treatment.
