Thank You for Your Gift of a Mosquito Net

In El Salvador, one of the biggest obstacles children and families in poverty face is mosquito-borne illness. Diseases like Zika and dengue fever run rampant in many communities, and without proper protection, the lives of children and their families are at risk. Compassion centers in El Salvador did not want this to be the reality for children under their care. And thanks to generous friends like you, over 2,000 children and their families received mosquito nets. Along with the nets, they were given mosquito traps and natural mosquito repellents. The children and their families also attended training on preventing mosquito-borne illnesses. “Thank God and the good-hearted people who made these benefits possible for the children to receive mosquito nets,” 11-year-old Fatima says. “All this has improved my health and my family[’s] too, and all we are very grateful.”
