About this project
Maria and Emmanuel Z. from TweetANet is responsible for this project
In Uganda, malaria is the leading cause of mortality. It is endemic in 95% of the country, and forms 30-50% of the outpatient department attendance, 20% of in-patient admissions, and 9-14% of the deaths of admitted cases.
TweetANet is an initiative of a group of United Nations Online Volunteers assisting several villages in Uganda through the online volunteering platform Nabuur (www.nabuur.com). In the run-off to World Malaria Day, between 1 and 25 April we are aiming at raising 1000 mosquito nets for the children of three villages nearby the Lake Victoria, Wakitaka, Jinja East and Mawoito through various social networks such as twitter and facebook.
Many families and especially children have been affected by Malaria in these villages. Families rarely have the means to buying mosquito nets for the children. A net costs about 2.5$ in Jinja and through your help we would like to lay a basis for sensibilisation and active engagement by the communities in combating Malaria to make development efforts in the villages more sustainable. Each of the three villages has an active community representative who is engaged on Nabuur.com and eager to make a difference in his community by combating malaria. All villages have addititional development projects in education and income generation that are assisted through the Nabuur platform as well.
For 2 euros (2.7 USD), or the equivalent of a cappuccino, you can save the life of a child by sponsoring a mosquito net. Help us to make a difference. Spread the word – Tweet A Net!
