Malaria Education and Prevention Program


Soft Power Health’s first program, the Malaria Education and Prevention Program, started in 2004. The program provides basic education about malaria transmission, prevention of disease, treatment, as well as the sale of subsidized insecticide-treated mosquito nets.

​Malaria is the leading cause of death for pregnant women and children under the age of five in Uganda. Its treatment is a major expense and the reason people miss work, contributing to keeping Ugandans in a cycle of poverty. ​

A tropical, equatorial country, with rainfall throughout much of the year, Uganda is a breeding ground for malaria.  It is a year-round rather than seasonal illness transmitted by the female anopheles mosquito who bites exclusively at nighttime.

Sleeping under an insecticide-treated mosquito net can reduce episodes of malaria by 50-90%. These nets can protect Ugandans from illness, saving them money and helping them be more productive.
