PARTNERSHIPS

Last  year we partnered with 2 great Rotary Clubs - Rotary Club of Canton, GA and the Rotary Club of Langata in Kenya.

This partnership made this a great International Service project and members from both clubs were eager to make it work and succeed.

This year we are partnering once again with both clubs and ask other clubs to JOIN IN and lets make it a worthwhile project impacting more lives. 

Together Everyone Achieves More...

Our Inaugural 5K event last year & the impact on the ground...



This event was inspired by the fact that;

1. Malaria remains the most infectious killer in the world today.
2. A child dies of malaria every 30 seconds with 60 children dying everyday in Kenya.
3. There are 300 million cases of malaria every year causing nearly one million deaths, mostly among African children.

WHY we are MOTIVATED to ACT !

• Because malaria is both preventable & curable.
• Sleeping under a treated mosquito net can reduce the incidence of malaria by up to 90%

That us HUGE and with your support we can significantly reduce infection rates, saving thousands of lives.
