One more net for his grandchild

P1010856
Dear Kayla,

Ngovi Joseph is a 54 year old father of 5 and grandfather of 3 children who resides in Nabukone Village, Uganda, where UVP has been working for the past two years. Ngovi is a farmer while his wife sells the excess of what they harvest in the local market.

When asked why he bought a net, he says, “I have bought a net for my grandchildren because this area has very many mosquitoes and I want to ensure they do no get malaria. We have had VHTs hold sensitizations on malaria and I know there have been deaths in the village of children due to malaria, so I thought it was best to buy one.  I am very grateful to UVP and their donors for providing me with a  net,  that I can easily afford. Thank you.”

On behalf of UVP and Ngovi we say a  big ‘thank you’ to you Kayla!
