This is Timothy. He lives in a rural village near Namungalwe, Iganga District. Malaria is a constant risk across the whole of Uganda, but is especially prevalent in the villages. UVP provides free malaria screening services for residents in our partner communities; positive test results are returned over 50% of the time. Here, Timothy displays a correctly hung, insecticide-treated mosquito net: the first line of defense against malaria. Timothy was able to purchase this net for a very nominal amount from UVP and subsequently reduce his risk of catching malaria. Learn more about our malaria program here…
