The Newest Weapon Against Poverty Is Malaria Prevention
Malaria prevention is needed because, believe it or not, malaria kills more children each year than AIDS does. Without malaria prevention, more than 1 million people die a year. More than 750,000 of those deaths are children in Africa. Added to that, the lack of malaria prevention results in millions of children getting sick and incapacitated.
Malaria Prevention Fights Poverty
Malaria prevention may seem like a provincial cause to support, but it means the difference between life and death. Though not talked about as much as AIDS, malaria is a silent, fast killer that puts all children and families Compassion serves in Africa at serious risk and in need of malaria prevention. An African village without malaria prevention is a town plunged deeper into poverty. Malaria prevention is needed because without it adults can contract the disease and then can't work, hurting their family income. You can fight poverty by providing malaria prevention to families in need through Compassion's Malaria Intervention Fund.
