Malaria Defense Project

Alexus KelleyERO Foundation

The ERO Charitable Foundation is thrilled to have supported the mosquito net projects in Mboro, Senegal, and Ghana, West Africa. For the Mboro project in 2013, the Foundation approved a grant for the purchase of insecticide-treated mosquito nets to be distributed to women in the village of Mboro-sur-Mer. The funds were sent to the Africa Birth Collective, which facilitated the distribution through the Malaria Defense Project, enabling the purchase of approximately 600 nets. In 2015, the Foundation approved a grant for a similar project in Ghana, which included funds for both mosquito nets and in-country ground transportation. These initiatives significantly contributed to the health and well-being of women in both communities by providing essential protection against malaria.
