Malaria continues to be one of Uganda’s most common and deadly illnesses—but through community health education, Humble Vessel Foundation & Clinic is helping reduce its impact.
During our recent outreach in Bukasa Parish, our volunteers conducted group discussions with families on how to prevent malaria: using treated mosquito nets, draining stagnant water, and seeking early treatment for fever cases. Over 300 nets were distributed to households, prioritizing pregnant women and young children.
Residents shared that before our visits, many thought malaria was a “normal” fever. After the sessions, they learned to identify symptoms early and visit the nearest health center instead of relying on self-medication.
“Now my children sleep under nets every night,” said Mary, a mother of three. “We used to fall sick every month, but it has stopped.”
These education efforts are proving that prevention saves lives—and with more support, we can expand the program to other high-risk areas across Wakiso and Mityana Districts.
