In these day or age when there's an increasing  infant mortality rates and malaria affecting thousands of pregnant mothers or children Nomad Green Belt Movement (NGBM) is implementing a counter malaria attacks. Mortality rates is a major problem in Mandera County, in addition to the recent outbreaks of triple epidemic (Dengue fever, Chikungunya& Cholera) where much of the population was at risk. While on the other part of the world every year, malaria infected mosquitoes kill more than 600,000 people, mostly in every 60 seconds, a child dies from malaria.

Through NGBM Malaria prevention initiatives a lot of activities has been carried out to reduce the Malaria burden in Mandera County through health education or promotion, participatory community health meetings, formation of malaria task force in residential areas who shall enable the spray and distribute treated mosquito nets and recommend the affected patients of dengue fever and Chikungunya to go for malaria test and treatment at the nearest health facility.

NGBM conducted the task of distributing insecticide treated mosquito nets, as well as spraying residential homes and highly susceptible environment with larvaecide for malaria by draining away stagnant water, clearing filth or litters within the sorroundings  to control, eliminate,and create malaria free Africa Continent.

Malaria is a critical disease which may be fatal.
