I STAND TO FIGHT MALARIA GOAL
Malaria is the most significant parasitic disease of human, It is the leading cause of deaths in Africa. Anyone regardless of age or gender can get malaria, but the most affected are women and children under the age of five (5). In 2010, there were 26,017 malaria deaths. In 2013 alone, an estimated 198 million cases occurred, and the diseases killed approximately 584,000 people, most of them children under five in Africa. In Kenya, The same year (2013) over two million cases of malaria infection were recorded, with a total number of 135 deaths. According to the World Health Organization, Malaria kills a child every minute.
Basically, not everyone can afford malaria treatment or the drugs, they are too expensive to some people and more especially people living in places with few health facilities like rural and remote areas and regions with high cases of malaria. So, as I Stand to Fight Malaria we thought it would be better to emphasize on how to prevent the disease by investing knowledge to people in the communities. The knowledge invested in them is more beneficial to them in one way or the other in ending the spread of malaria.
Alot of money is spent on malaria treatment and drugs, while parents are not also able attend work since they have to stay at home and look after their sick children/love ones.
Malaria is not only spreading because of poverty, malaria can also lead to poverty. The more time parents stays at home, and the more money they spend on medical care, the more the family calls-in poverty,But alot can be done to end malaria, because the disease is influenced by the environment you live in.
