Dedicated to malaria prevention in West Africa: At Netlife we are dedicated to providing anti-malarial bednets to villagers in need throughout West Africa. Our current focus, and expertise is on a rural region of Senegal called Kedougou.
Netlife was founded in 2005 by Saint Louis University medical students Andrew Sherman and Jesse Matthews.
In the summer of 2005, Netlife successfully distributed 605 long-term insecticide treated bednets to seven rural villages.
In 2007, Netlife returned to Senegal and distributed 1100 nets to 17 villages.
Please consider contributing to our cause.
Thank You R Community Bikes - Rochester!!!
Thank you George Dressing, Dan Lill, Chuck Fujita and everyone at the amazing community-based non-profit organization which provides bicycles to so many people in need.
R Community Bikes has been nice enough to outfit the Netlife volunteers with 5 bikes that we will use to distribute mosquito nets. After we are done distributing, these bikes will be donated to rural Senegalese people who will use the bikes to enhance the health and education of their home villages.
The best thing about R Community Bikes is that they have been a pleasure to talk to and work with. They have great souls and they make such an important difference in the local population.
Please check out the R Community Bikes website if you can.
Thank You Morgan Park Academy! Look What They've Done!
