3 GHEI Mosquito Net - Malaria Prevention This project has the potential to save lives. Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children in Ghana. Despite the enormous impact of malaria, prevention efforts in Bibiani District are rudimentary at best. Private individuals do not have the means or the education to protect themselves from malaria. This is compounded by the fact that the government cannot provide the nets or the needed education to the most vulnerable. The provision of insecticide treated bednets with accompanying education is a powerful and proven tool in the fight against malaria. This is a simple intervention that has the potential to drastically reduce the number of children that die from malaria each year in Bibiani District.
