In every 35 seconds, a child dies of Malaria in Africa. Malaria is one of the deadliest and most common diseases ravaging some parts of the world. Like a merciless and ruthless warlord, it has sent millions of people, especially children, to their early graves. Malaria is a blood-borne disease carried by the anopheles mosquitoes. It can cause anemia, resulting in vulnerability to infection. It destroys the blood walls, body immune system, attacks the liver and can cause kidney failure, and dysentery.

Unfortunately, several centuries after its discovery, malaria remains a devastating human infection, totaling 300-500 million clinical cases and three million deaths every year around the world. Despite laudable efforts to control the disease, the challenge remains that people in remote communities rarely benefit from such programs. CHAMA has come on board to bridge this gap in order to reduce these needless deaths in the needy African and third world’s remote rural villages that often elude development officers.

So many times we rush to turn off the television when we see small, naked, starving children in Africa. It’s so hard to look at that much poverty and sickness. Malaria is a sickness that affects millions of children in Sub-Saharan Africa every day. It cripples and kills the most vulnerable among us, and the biggest tragedy of all is that malaria-related deaths are preventable!
