Because of this, the Mawoito village is proud to join hands with the local representatives of the Jinja Central and Wakitaka villages here at Nabuur for a joint fundraising effort. The goal is to raise awareness about the impact of malaria on our communities and receive enough money in donations to purchase 1000 mosquito nets which will then be distributed among each of the villages involved. You can help us!
