The National Malaria Control Programme of the Ghana Health Service has donated 100 Insecticide-Treated Mosquito Nets (ITNs) to Joy In Giving Foundation in Accra.

The gesture supports the foundation’s upcoming project, ensuring the orphans at the Volta Home Orphanage in the Volta Region of Ghana have a good night’s sleep in a conducive environment.

A good night’s sleep means no chance for mosquitoes to bite, thus preventing malaria at the orphanage.
Controlling and preventing malaria is essential for attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. The National Malaria Control Programme aims to ensure that about 80% of the Ghanaian population sleeps under treated bed nets.

A Charity Ambassador for Joy In Giving Foundation, Miss Ernestina Muulikaa, received the bed nets.

The treated bed nets will help achieve the overall objective of the foundation’s project, which includes renovating the dormitories of the Volta Home Orphanage, which are currently in a very poor state, and providing bunk beds with accompanying bedclothes.
