Today is World Malaria Day!
Malaria takes the lives of over 600,000 children every
single year, but it does not have to be that way!
Malaria is
preventable, treatable, and curable.
Every week we meet children and families who have been
impacted by this life-threatening disease. And every week we also see how
knowledge about the symptoms and access to critical medicine can save lives and
change families!
We are coming up on the rainy season here in Uganda – it’s
the time of year when malaria cases are at their peak. It’s also the time of
year when it is most difficult for us to reliably reach the villages where we
work because of the poor road conditions and rainy weather.
The van we have been using works wonderfully for getting our
family and large groups around town, but it isn’t equipped for the rugged roads
of the villages.
That’s why we are
kicking off a new fundraising campaign today to help us buy and outfit a
fully-equipped rugged SUV that will allow us to reach the villages year round!
Our goal is to raise $25,000 in the next seven days! This
$25,000 will allow us to purchase a used vehicle, perform the necessary
maintenance, and fully outfit the vehicle with the malaria supplies that we
need.

community can contribute to our Mobile Malaria Vehicle Fundraising Campaign?
