Think Humanity has been assisting refugees since May 2007 and we became an established non-profit in December 2007.

We started raising money for malaria medication and mosquito nets when a Congolese refugee from the Kyangwali Settlement Camp suggested that we concentrate on helping children and pregnant women because they are the ones that are most affected by malaria. One million pregnant women and their newborns a year are exposed to anemia, low birth weight and die.  In sub-Saharan Africa, a child under the age of five dies from malaria every 30 seconds.

Project Meds and Nets was established because we want to be a part of the solution, but by specifically helping refugees from war-torn countries. Refugees are more susceptible to severe malaria in high risk areas where they are unable to get basic health services, are without adequate nutrition or clean water, shelter or sanitation. By lacking access to health care and malaria prevention tools the disease continues to spread at epidemic levels.

Some of our ways to help in the fight against malaria is to provide malaria medication and insecticide-treated mosquito nets. One million children die unnecessarily each year from malaria, which is a preventable and treatable disease.

The organization also became involved in the construction of a day orphanage when Wereje Benson, Coburwas Club president shared his idea of helping children in the camp. You can read more about this project under the project, Coburwas Learning Centre.

Our main goal is to provide the resources and manpower to make positive changes in the lives of refugees. Together, with the COBURWAS Club members, refugee camp community leaders, churches, donors and volunteers, we can help eliminate some of the suffering and death caused by malaria and also help young, orphaned children by providing them with love, care, comfort, education and security.
