Understanding Malaria in Africa

Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease.  However, the treatment is expensive and not easily available to those who are most vulnerable.  It is transmitted by a mosquito that bites at night between 10pm and 4am.  Sleeping under a mosquito net drastically reduces a person’s risk of contracting malaria.  Although malaria has been eradicated in the West, it continues to kill millions of people, primarily children under five years of age.

About Malawi

Malawi is a small country in southeastern Africa.  It is one of the poorest countries in the world and, like the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, Malawi has been devastated by AIDS.  There are over a million orphans in Malawi of which malaria is the number one killer. Everyone in Malawi is at risk for malaria, unless they have a net to sleep under. NetGain is providing ITNs to people in rural villages to prevent malaria.
