The Malaria Evil Pandemic

Malaria, believe it or not has a fatal statistics higher than cancer, which 95% of the deaths are children below the age of 5. quoting WHO “ The WHO African Region carries a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2021, the region was home to 95% of malaria cases and 96% of malaria deaths. Children under 5 accounted for about 80% of all malaria deaths in the Region”. Nigeria has the lions share when it comes to malaria in Africa.

With the poverty rate of Nigeria being very high, it is no surprise that many families are not able to properly treat malaria and end up loosing their loved ones, especially children.

This is why we at Prince Osinachi Foundation is Joining hands with WHO to help give poor Nigerians malaria treatment for FREE! We have given out over 1000 malaria treatments to Nigerians. EVIL
