Malaria in Sierra Leone

There is no bigger punishment for a mother than to have to helplessly watch her child suffering.

The daughter is lying with a fever in a malaria coma. The mother hopes that she can be transported to Bo, the second largest city in Sierra Leone, where “Doctors Without Borders” have a hospital. For two years now William Daniels from France has been occupying himself with the effects of the malaria epidemic in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

Malaria is still one of the most dangerous diseases for children. According to UNICEF estimations, 800,000 children under the age of five die of Malaria each year in Africa alone .
