Botswana
Since its independence in 1966, Botswana has had one of the highest rates of economic growth in the world. But the country’s long-term security is threatened by the second-highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world, with close to 40% of the adult population affected. Malaria is prevalent throughout much of the country, with 40% to 50% of the population at risk of contracting the disease.
Episcopal Relief & Development is partnering with the Anglican Diocese of Botswana, part of the Church of Central Africa, to implement the NetsforLife® malaria prevention partnership.
Promoting Health and Fighting Disease
-
Botswana is one of 15 countries in sub-Saharan Africa where the NetsforLife® program partnership is working to prevent malaria by distributing long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and educating communities in prevention and treatment methods.
