In a recent visit to program areas in Burkina Faso, it was seen that many of
women had already purchased
nets and
rest were setting aside money to buy them soon. One participant, Fatoumata Monomata, expressed
essence of
program, "I learned how to keep my children safe from malaria." By
end of
three-year pilot,
Malaria Initiative will be reaching 180,000 women in West Africa.
Achieving Sustainability
Wherever poverty, hunger, and poor health combine they often form a vicious cycle that lasts for generations. To break this chain of hopelessness permanently, Freedom from Hunger will make
anti-malaria activities a regular part of
Credit with Education program whenever it is implemented in malaria-endemic areas. The women themselves cover
local costs of
anti-malaria program through earnings generated by their loan repayments. The powerful combination of services provided by Credit with Education creates a ladder out of poverty, hunger, and ill health—with each step leading to a life of self-reliance, health, and hope.
