One of the most frequent health problems we face here in Uganda is carried through a mosquito.
It causes chills, fever, and body aches.
Many people are affected by the disease and would be able to tell you in detail how miserable it is.
Malaria.
Although many times it is easily managed and treated, there are times when it
causes life-long damage or even death.
Children who were once normal may now experience cerebral palsy-type symptoms, being
unable to walk or even talk for the rest of their lives.
Some who went to school and excelled may now struggle and fall behind due to mental delays.

These are real children who's faces we know and we call them by name.
This year, Amazima is saying ENOUGH to Malaria. Our aim is to provide enough mosquito
nets to every family in our sponsorship program so that none of them have to
be exposed while they sleep to the risk of malaria.
Will you help us?
Our goal is to raise money for 400 mosquito nets; enough for one mosquito net for every two children in each sponsored family. One net costs around $7. Think about that. Seven dollars that will protect two kids for years to come. Whether you can provide one net or one hundred nets, we can assure you that it will make a difference to the ones we work with and love so dearly.

FEB 8TH UPDATE: Thank you for your generous support! We are now fully-funded for these 400 nets. Praise the Lord!! Because you said ENOUGH, we will be able to help our sweet young friends sleep without being exposed to this awful, yet preventable disease.

ReplyDeleteCan you tell me where you get nets for $7? I've been fundraising to put 122,580 nets into Ethiopia and the best price I can get is $20 per net- please, please please help me to understand where you are getting your nets so I can put more nets into Ethiopia at that price. Thank you. How can I get into touch with you? I'll kept checking here for a response. Thank you for giving me hope to be able to save more lives!!!!! Bobi

ReplyDeleteKatie, since the net project has been funded so quickly, please keep identifying other needs so that we may all be part of your ministry as God leads.
ReplyDeleteMay God continue to bless you in His service.
Can I send you a care package full of school supplies? I'm sure they are much cheaper to purchase here and you would get more for the money.
