Discuss social enterprise safari partnership and write letter of intent

Some neighbours have brought up the idea to try to establish a partnership with a safari tour provider to the Nile source to give tourists an incentive to donate a bednet for the village. The idea is to use the relatively new idea of a social enterprise, that is to say an enterprise that does reinvest its profit in social projects. Safari providers might have an interest in showing a "better" image by offering the possibility to do something "good" to their guests.

Dear Colleagues
It is good that you have been able to obtain bednets ... or is it mosquito curtains ... for use against malaria in Busukuma. I hope they will work, and help to reduce the burden of malaria in your community.
My study of malaria control over the past few years suggests that bednets will help the persons using the bednets ... but do almost nothing for everyone else in the community. This is better than nothing, but not a full solution by any means.
HI Esther,
I don´t know if you saw it, we got in contact with the Christian Child Fund in Uganda http://www.childfund.org/uganda/ for Malaria information for the Wakitaka Youth. I´ll let you know what comes out of it, maybe they could help in Kisozi as well.
regards,
Maria
