By boat or by bike, NetsforLife reaches communities to endmalaria

From Anglican News-

NetsforLife®, Episcopal Relief & Development’s award-winning, flagship malaria prevention program, stands with its partners and participating communities to call for international action on World Malaria Day, April 25.

Since NetsforLife® launched in 2006, the program has distributed over 11.2 million nets and trained nearly 93,600 Malaria Control Agents.  Overall, the program has reached 32 million people in 17 countries across sub-Saharan Africa.  The NetsforLife® methodology has been adopted as national policy by five countries, and the program is currently targeting seven more to make this shift.  As a member of CAMA (the Corporate Alliance on Malaria in Africa, a coalition led by GBCHealth), the program is positioned to continue its advocacy for corporate and private sector engagement in malaria prevention.
