Each year, malaria claims the lives of over 48,000 children under five in Tanzania.
With your help, NetsforLife® is working to create a people-centered, integrated model of community development to fight malaria in Tanzania.
Tanzania faces difficult economic challenges—its economy depends heavily on agriculture, which accounts for almost half of its gross domestic product and employs 80% of the work force.
However, the climate and topography limit cultivated crops to only 4% of the land. Because of these factors, Tanzania faces chronic food insecurity and poverty.
The average life expectancy is 48.
Malaria is the leading cause of death among children in Tanzania and is the most common reason for inpatient and outpatient hospital admissions.
Implementing partners for NetsforLife® are the Diocese of Dar es Salaam, the Diocese of Central Tanganyika and the Diocese of Western Tanganyika.
NetsforLife® will be working in three districts in Tanzania: Central Tanganyika, Western Tanganyika and Dar es Salaam.
There are an estimated 250 million cases of malaria each year, resulting in nearly 800,000 deaths. The majority of these deaths are children younger than five years old. Join us in the fight against malaria in Africa. Give today.

NetsforLife® is a partnership of corporations, foundations, nongovernmental groups, and faith-based organizations working to fight malaria in Africa.
