UNICEF is the world’s largest provider of insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets, which help protect families from malaria. In Mozambique alone, almost 36,000 children under the age of five will die each year (that’s about one child every fifteen minutes) as a result of malaria.
Over five years, Fyffes is helping UNICEF to prevent the spread of malaria amongst orphaned and other vulnerable children in Mozambique through the distribution of mosquito nets and the support of health facilities and community projects.
