hanks to your donations we were able to provide more malaria tests to children in Sierra Leone. While mosquito bed nets provide very effective protection against malaria during the night, they do not protect children from exposure to mosquitoes in the early evening (before bedtime) when mosquitoes are active. Malaria causes unnecessary sickness, hospitalization, and deaths which can easily be prevented. 

Ready access to malaria tests and medication will help prevent deaths from malaria. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) show whether the child has been exposed to malaria by a positive or negative result.   By proactively making available the recommended malaria tests and medication when needed, lives will be saved.

Your continued generosity is helping prevent malaria and treat malaria is greatly appreciated.
