6. What can be done? Malaria is a serious, life-threatening disease. But malaria can be prevented! Malaria can be cured! Our goal is to save the lives of children in Togo by preventing malaria through health education and bed net distribution.

7. What will the churches in Togo do? Church members in Togo will distribute long-lasting insecticidal bed nets and teach how to use them. They will visit families in their homes and provide follow-up. They will teach about malaria and other health topics. They will share the power and hope of the gospel.

8. What are long-lasting insecticidal bed nets? Malaria is spread by mosquitoes that bite at night. Mosquito nets act as a physical barrier to prevent mosquito bites. Long-lasting insecticidal nets contain an insecticide that drives away or kills mosquitoes. When people sleep under long-lasting insecticidal nets, there are fewer mosquitoes and fewer mosquito bites�so less malaria.
