Blog About Malaria Month

April is blog about malaria month, and yesterday April 25 was World Malaria Day.  I'm not sure if you guys remember this, but just last month I had malaria and I wrote a blog about it.

Here are some startling facts about malaria in Mozambique (Stomp Out Malaria):

• Malaria is the leading cause of death in Mozambique.
• Malaria accounts for 29% of deaths, and 42% of deaths among children under 5 years old in Mozambique.
• 100% of Mozambique's population is at risk of malaria.

Many in Mozambique and throughout Africa are not so fortunate to have the immediate access to medicine and healthcare as I was a short month ago.  When they fall victim to malaria, it could very well be a death sentence.  Please visit Stomp Out Malaria and get educated on the efforts by Peace Corps to eradicate malaria in Africa.
