Drive Against Malaria: Shocking circumstances Pygmies
Baka Pygmies in the East are extremely poor and live FAR under the poverty level.
The people here have no access to nets, no effective medication to treat malaria and no diagnosis material. Drive Against Malaria spoke with people in the village to listen to their stories and find out how bad the situation really was. Julia Samuel: “We encountered the same heartbreaking situation over and over again. Mothers approached us, and asked us to look at their sick babies and children. They were all desperate – they knew their children were dying, and they knew that the consultation and medication they needed was far too expensive for them. A mother lost 6 of her children. We told her we give free nets to protect her family. This is an everyday tragedy. This is the daily reality among the poorest people in Africa. This is why, every day that the DRIVE AGAINST MALARIA spends doing this work, is of vital importance.” Full story see PDF
