Malaria Net Campaign

Our major public health initiative will be a campaign to help fight malaria which still kills over one million African children yearly. Our goal is to raise money in Canada, allowing us to purchase hundreds of mosquite nets which will be distributed to families with children in the remote villages bordering on Lake Malawi. Parents and village leaders will be taught about malaria and the role of nets in its prevention.

You can help save lives by purchasing nets for CDN $ 5.00 each. Receipts will be issued by EMAS Canada for donations of $ 20.00 or more. To make donations by phone call Ellen toll-free at 1-866-648-0664 and mention "Lifeline Malawi Malaria Net Project." Or visit http://www.emascanada.org/OnlineDonations and choose "Malalawi - Lifeline Malawi" to make a donation on-line.

As a team we thank you for your love and support.

We are excited about the opportunity to serve the people of Malawi by partnering with Lifeline Malawi. Our team consisting of 2 family doctors, 1 pediatrician, 2 nurses, and 2 medical receptionists will serve in the Lifeline Malawi Clinics, teach, challenge village leaders to improve the health of their people, and to offer spiritual encouragement to Lifeline Malawi staff and local church leaders.

Thank you for your prayerful support as we prepare for our mission. If you would like to support a public health initiative which we will announce shortly, charitable receipts will be issued through EMAS Evangelical Medical Aid Society. Donations should be earmarked "Lifeline Malawi Project."

We will keep our friends, family and supporters informed about our preparation progress and our daily journal from the field.
