It is about time we Africans quit playing the victims and started taking greater and collective responsibility for our well being. We should stop being responsive and start being more proactive. In Ghana since majority of the populace are christians or moslems and given the great reverence we place on our pastors and imams we should start seeing them as the more effective information ministers. The fight to change attitudes should start from the pulpits and the mosques. Pastors and imams should use the first few minutes of their services to educate their congregation about social issues including the need to clean our surroundings to prevent various diseases, desisting from littering with empty pure water sachets and other waste, preventing stagnant water accummulation to name a few. This will be a most cost effective and practical way to address many of our social problems including the menance of malaria.

having said that malaria will remain a challenge until we take the bull by the horns, african leaders are just lazy and dont want to take up challenging situations. any vaccine for malaria will not be in the next 50years and we will still struggle with drug resistance its time we decided on eradicating malaria completely and start working towards it.

Use Avon's skin so soft or drink tonic water( gin and tonic) those are natural repellants to mosquitoes and seem to stop the malaria.
