mosquito nets and fruit trees

We've been distributing mosquito nets and fruit trees recently. It's mosquito season and there have been many cases of malaria this year. We're targeting the most vulnerable people -- pregnant women and children under 5 living near Lake Chilwa, a mosquito breeding ground. Fruit trees are part of afforestation -- they are less likely to get cut down for firewood because they will provide a source of income as well as improve nutrition.
