Malaria
A frightening thought
Felicity, John Paul and Alex talk about malaria. It is a big problem in their country, killing thousands of people.
Felicity (right), John Paul (left) and Alex (centre) are lucky: they have been educated on the dangers. They know the risks, the importance of mosquito nets and they are lucky enough to have them. For so many people, they cannot afford mosquito nets and do not understand the risks without them.
Many villages are situated near to lakes, as John Paul points out. Mosquitoes thrive around stagnant water, heightening the problem. Many local people do not understand the dangers - even mistaking a mosquito net for a wedding gown!
