Introducing Lauren of Podor

images

With her MNM FlipCam, Lauren Canton has been documenting how mosquito nets are being distributed and making a difference in the village where she is living called Podor. Located in the Northern St. Louis region of Senegal, Podor is right along the Senegal River near the border of Mauritania.
Check out this first film where Lauren guides us through the processes of the local distribution!

In this next video, Lauren observes as a national health worker distributes Vitamin A and deworming medicines to an infant. Following this, the mother is given mosquito net vouchers for her family. This integrative approach brings more life-saving health interventions at once to people in rural areas of Senegal.

    The videos are great! It is so heartwarming to see people reaching out to assist one another. Health care is a universal, vital aspect of overall well-being of Peoples and treasured cultures around the world. MALARIA NO MORE is a fine example of true *heroes* at work. Goodbye and good riddance to Malaria!!
