Malaria continues to pose a daily threat in East Sumba. Our new "Kawan Against Malaria" programme combines prevention, mosquito nets, education, and treatment to safeguard families and the most vulnerable. Every action saves lives, especially those of children. Together, we can combat malaria village by village.
What is this audio podcast about? Little Darma tells us about his life as a ten-year-old child, his problems also sitting in the grass, in front of a wooden house. He speaks to us from the village of Pepuatu, very isolated and very difficult to access. Darma, 10 years old, tells us about her life in her village, which is isolated from a lot of things. When we ask him if he is in good health, he replies that no, he is sick. What are the kid's dreams? To have water, electricity and a road to access his village. A touching testimony of this child is Sumba East. He tells us about the hardness of his life, of his dreams too. He cannot walk too much, because he is not in very good health, and the appropriate medical care is not accessible, the village chief will tell us later. Thank you so much for your interest Kawan.
