World Malaria Day Kenya

Did you know that today is World Malaria Day.  This is still the leading killer of children especially in the Sub-Saharian part of Africa we go to in Maseno, Kenya. Our Ministry knew this was a priority so we work with local retailers and are able to purchase Malaria Treated Nets for just $7 a piece.  That mere $7 can save a child's life!  The mosquito that carries the Malaria germ comes out at night.  So by covering the area the children sleep in with a net, has helped considerably in warding off this killer insect's bite.  Often in these poor huts, all family members sleep on one mattress if they have one, or together on piles of rags.  So one net can actually protect the whole family. 

If you care to be involved with this project, see our Ebenezer projects area of our site, www.hisarmskenya.org and you can see where you can donate funds to help these be a reality for more children in this area.  Hmmmm $7 that is just a little over the cost of one speciality cup of coffee...not much in our standards.
