Dear Friends of Hope,
With all the happenings at Hope International in the last couple of weeks, the recent amazing news of a malaria vaccine slipped through without the celebration merited.
Each year 260,000 children die from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2019, 800,000 children have participated in a pilot program in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi and a game-changing malaria vaccine has been approved. This vaccine will have an immensely positive impact on children's health.
At Hope International’s medical clinic, we provide medication for malaria where 7 students were treated just last month.
“This is a historic moment. The long-awaited malaria vaccine for children is a breakthrough for science, child health and malaria control,” said WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. You can read more about the vaccine here.
Please join us in celebrating this breakthrough and the benefits it brings to Liberia and all of the world.
