Malaria is the number one killer of children in Liberia. Recently at Christ’s Children Home, 28 out of the 44 orphans have contracted malaria. Of those 28, 17 are still sick and undergoing malaria treatment. It costs $5 a month to treat one child at Christ’s Children Home for malaria prevention. World Malaria Day is this Wednesday, April 25th: established six years ago to draw attention to the fatal risks of being a child in Africa, where 1.3 to 1.8 million African children die a year.
Please take a moment to get to know our children currently being treated for malaria, and those who contracted the disease in the last few weeks who have recovered and are safe (for now) thanks to the efforts of Christ’s Children Home and their partner, My HALO project. We thank you for your support and ask you to please Help A Liberian Orphan.
