Malaria kills an estimated 180,000 Congolese each year. It is the major killer of children. A recent report cites that one out of ten babies die from malaria before their first birthday. And six of ten children die from malaria from their 12th birthday.
The Congo government is stepping up the distribution (sale) of low cost nets in urban and rural areas. In Bulape, Congo Helping Hands is purchasing nets for pregnant women and children. The nets will be freely distributed.
You can support the project by donating $1.50 per net.
