Village-based volunteers are to be trained in malaria prevention with support from the Anglican mission and development agency USPG (www.uspg.org.uk). It is a good news story for World Malaria Day (25 April).
The USPG-funded training will be implemented in Namibia and Angola through the health departments of the national Anglican Churches.
David Evans, USPG’s Director for Community Engagement, explained: ”˜The church is ideal for delivering health programmes because it can connect people and organisations at so many levels ”“ from international health organisations and government health bodies right through to local rural churches.’
