Due to the remote nature
of the Niassa area, illnesses and injuries
largely go untreated. The median age
of the population is approximately less
than17 yrs and the infant mortality
rate is around 140 per 1000 births.
Malaria is one prolific killer of the
local population and infected mosquitoes
are the carriers of this deadly disease.
An important part of our overall eco-development
program is the control of mosquito breeding
areas. Mosquito netting and preventative
medications will be supplied to the
local populations in the short term
to further support malarial control.
To improve quality of life, we will
bring new methods of medical care, hire
and train staff and supply medicines
for preventative and reactive treatments.
In addition, we will supply clean water
to the area through production of wells
and management of clean water distribution. |
