New Approaches for Addressing Outdoor/Residual Malaria Transmission among Refugee communities.
New Approaches for Addressing Outdoor/Residual Malaria Transmission among Refugee communities
1. At Global Solidarity Corporation, our guiding philosophy is rooted in anticipation and prevention of crises. This is encapsulated in our motto: 'A stitch in time.
2.D.R. Congo has over 112,000 refugees in neighboring Uganda, many of whom are now returning to their country to find a broken-down healthcare system. Malaria remains a significant threat to life especially among children and pregnant women.
3. Our focus is to fight malaria in D.R. Congo not from the doctors’ offices but from where the mosquito population thrives and propagates. We want to disrupt the chain of causation of malaria by attacking the well-known bases of mosquito families and disabling them from infecting humans in the project area. No dollar of the project budget will go into the purchase of drugs and this is what makes our approach “new.”
4. Our agents in the field have confirmed that mosquitoes breed in stagnant waters, especially ponds, pools and marshes - which can be treated to prevent mosquitoes from thriving. Some of these mosquito-breeding excavations are man-made in the course of economic activities such as clay-harvesting and brick-making to eke out a living. Our project can eventually halt these activities by offering profitable alternatives such as orchard farming and bee-keeping, among other options. All stakeholders are welcome on board and will be accorded audience.
5. Another fact. Mosquitoes bite their victims only at night, in bedrooms and never during the day on the street. We want to prevent mosquitoes from biting any person in their sleep by distributing Insecticide Treated Nets to ALL households in the project area. Every head of a household is to be registered and held accountable for the mosquito nets issued to his family and the project will ensure that the nets are not converted to fishing nets (it has happened in the past) or sold off to buy tobacco or alcohol.
6. Part of the project funding is for sensitization and mobilization. We want to equip beneficiaries with knowledge of how malaria is spread, how fatal it is and what everyone ought to do to avoid a trip to the doctor`s office. In an area where malaria has been accepted as part of life, there is need to table the statistics of fatalities for everyone to see why something has to be done by everyone.
7. Beneficiaries will be told that malaria in D.R. Congo kills far more people every year than HIV/AIDS and, therefore, must be tackled with vigor and determination at all levels. Annually, D.R. Congo loses numerous people to malaria, making it the leading killer. Moreover, malaria survivors are likely to become poor on account of lost earnings during recuperation. The country`s GDP goes down because sick people do not work or go to school. Standards of living plummet as the dependency ratio in families increases.
INNOVATION: Our idea is unconventional because we are not focusing on therapy of malaria but on root causes and spread of malaria and that`s where we want the battle to be. Halting the vector, rather than treating the disease, is what makes us unique in our approach. It will succeed because it tackles the problem from the root cause instead of dealing with the symptoms of malaria.
INVESTMENT OUTCOMES
Projected Agenda for Phase 1
1. Mobilization and sensitization of 4300 families on matters of malaria threat and how it can be prevented at household level.
2. Distribution of 100,000 Insecticide Treated fabric screens to 30,000 homesteads in the project area of Goma, Rutshuru, Masisi and Walikale in Kivu Province of Eastern D.R. Congo. Heads of households will be registered with their ID numbers and signatures after being issued mosquito screens.
3. We expect a decline in malaria-related hospital visits by especially pregnant women and children below the age of 5 who are the most vulnerable in the project area. Subcounty, county and District hospitals will avail data on malaria-related hospital visits for comparison with pre-project statistics.
