Anti-malarial program

In 2007, the Foundation signed a protocol in agreement with ONG GROUPE PRESENCE LOCALE (GPL), in Medina Gounass, Pikine – Guédiawaye, with the aim of tackling malaria.

This program consists of economic donations on behalf of FRA which has already seen the following positive results:

  • The creation of a media campaign informing the population - in particular, wives' associations - of the risks of malaria; 30 local agents were used to inform the population of the necessary measures in preventing malaria. Numerous mosquito nets were distributed, and various radio and television reports were made with the same aim of showing the risk of malaria to the population.
  • The improvement of installations and medical equipment at the health center of the ONG.
  • The purchase of medicine.
  • The building of wells with sedimentary waters. This prevents mosquitoes breeding. More than 50 wells were constructed during 2008.

The LPG health center has a very important role within this program. It has already dealt with more than 5000 cases and distributed large quantities of mosquito nets throughout the population in the war against malaria.

The Foundation continues following the activities of GPL closely through a monthly report cataloguing its progress and achieved aims.
