Malaria Emergency | In order to effectively fight the ongoing malaria epidemic in our region, our medical teams need vital resources such as medicines, rapid diagnostic kits, laboratory equipment and two microscopes. In addition, it is very important that we have access to impregnated mosquito nets and indoor spraying equipment (IRS) to prevent any potential infection. Thank you from the heart.
The malaria control program in East Sumba is a collaborative effort involving various components such as prevention, diagnosis, treatment, capacity building, monitoring, and community engagement.
Water Connections create gardens, people eat better and drink more, and malaria and other infectious diseases are reduced by providing healthy sanitary facilities.
Several human behaviours strongly contribute to the spread or persistence of malaria. Here are some of these factors that lead to an increase in malaria cases.
The foundation aims to establish a crucial initiative for screening, treating, and preventing Malaria in the highly rural and impoverished areas of East Sumba.
The latest reports tell us that in some areas, 100% of the villages in East Sumba have gone Red. Children under five and other vulnerable people are hard hit.
The rain in East Sumba sometimes creates small floods, which the ground will completely absorb. But it feels good to receive water without going far to fetch it.
Every obstacle is an opportunity to help, to provide what families lack: Medical care, food, water, time & friendship. This is the mission of the Truck of Life.
Kullups are hand-dug holes in the rock of a hill. They are also a solution to the clean water crisis in ultra-rural Indonesia, where access to water is almost non-existent.
In Sumba, children have to walk for hours to fetch water. It's a basic necessity we often take for granted, but it's a daily struggle for them. The dangers are significant.
Thanks to the Kawan Sehat program, the health and well-being of ultra-rural populations are improving. We encourage healthy habits and increase access to health care.
Clean water is essential for human survival and health. Human beings need water for drinking, cooking, bathing and other activities of daily living. Without water, everything dies.
For the ultra-rural communities of East Sumba, learning how to protect themselves against malaria risks is vital to staying healthy, safe and alive.
Families are concerned about access to water. By ensuring access to clean water, the health risks associated with contaminated water are reduced, and people's quality of life is improved.
Malaria is a severe disease that can affect anyone, but children are the most vulnerable. With proper treatment and care, most children can recover from malaria.
Another medical revolution which actively participates in the life preservation and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and generates excellent awareness.
