Net the Village
Net the Village (NtV) is a transformational project that aims to help combat malaria in a practical way by providing mosquito nets to families with children who are five years of age and younger. Each family receives one net for every two children within that age range. These recent photos (2015) help illustrate the impact of NtV in a local village.
