Canadian Youths Battle Malaria in "Wakanda"
Roperfree is a social enterprise formed to fight
malaria in Uganda and the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. Further to that we are
battling rheumatism while using organic herbal Aromatherapy essential oils under
Roperfree brand name.
Canadian youths namely: Willis, Phyllis and Ellis
packed up their bags on January 21, 2020 and went to “Wakanda” to tackle malaria which kills about 100,000 per year especially the children below five
years, pregnant mothers and the elderly
The youths joined the battle to fight malaria in order to
encourage other Canadian youth by causing awareness that malaria is a world health concern which needs
International attention in order to eliminate it up to zero status.
Youths in Uganda are the youngest population in the
world, with 77% of its population being under 25 years of age so Canadian youth
were able to connect easily due to age similarities.
The malaria campaigns were done in different parts of
country such as; Gomba, Butambala, Kibibi in Mpigi District Busega at Kasumba
Square in Kampala area Busabala, and ended up in Wakiiso District – Lweza estates
on January 30, 2020 afterwards the youth proceeded to Entebbe Zoo and then to
Entebbe International Airport to take a plane back home to Canada and currently
they are air borne.
During the malaria sensitization campaign
communities were sensitized about malaria, offered free resourceful information
and 15 ml bottle of Roperfree mosquito repellent oils, the summit’s closing
presentation was done by Mona the Operation’s Manager of Roperfree and two television
journalists from Bukedde and Delta TV covered the events which will be aired in
the news.
Malaria is a global concern and fighting it is not
an easy task that is why we encourage all able bodied people to join the
struggle by partnering with us. Great news! That the Chairperson of AGOA Exporter’s
Association of Uganda and the General Manager of Jakana foods, Meg Jaguay Hilbert
is partnering with us in the battle to fighting malaria by showcasing Roperfree
Brand Products in the coming events in February 2020 after repeated bouts of
malaria in the last six months.
