Irene is 25 a year old housewife and mother of 3 children who resides in the Bunio village of Uganda. Irene says, “I have bought a net because my eldest child fell sick from malaria earlier this year and it was recommended we buy a mosquito net for the children to sleep under. It prevents mosquitos from biting them.” UVP sells the mosquito nets at an affordable price. Irene further explained, “I am unable to easily afford those at the market. I will be buying more nets from UVP in a couple of weeks time to give to my sister who lives in another village. I am very thankful,”  she said.

When asked why she bought a net, she says, “I have bought a net because this area has very many mosquitoes and I want to keep my children and myself from getting bit by the mosquitoes, as they cause malaria.

During her lunch hour she came home to find the UVP crew on the ground installing tippy taps on her street. Nakazibwa was excited and watched intently as we taught her and her mother about how to put one up and how to use it. On asking them how they felt about receiving the device and participating in the process, Zahara said, “with a tippy-tap we can keep our hands clean, before we eat, after using the toilet, and it is important to do so as we will be germ free.” Hiding behind their mother, Jamira, her younger sister shyly  said, “and we will not get sick.” Nakazibwa is thankful for UVP and for your donation Jami!
