The local school teachers explain to us the programme.

The Malaria Control Programme in Jambiani was initiated in 2000 by villagers themselves through a Health Committee under an informal group which later turned a non-governmental organisation called TUISHI in collaboration with Dr. Christopher Zink from Switserland. The number of malaria victims have been strongly reduced.

We are invited in one of the houses of the village to see that they use treated anti-malaria nets. Most of these houses are made of land coral.
.
Highly impressed by the work of these dedicated school teachers, we say goodbye.
.
It's because of them that our world will be malaria-FREE in the future!

Returning home, we see women drying seaweed. Surreal images.
