Trained Buzz Off workers go into remote villages to a do needs assessment. The needs assessment's are examined and priorities set in order to respond to malaria at the local level.

 

Buzz Off malaria workers relate to the local clinics helping with on site community training, mosquito eradication projects and help local clinics to be better resourced in order to address the scourge of malaria at the local level.


The Yangon course will train about 60 workers who will be able to assess remote areas inside Burma. Through our grant funding we anticipate helping many communities who are suffering the malaria burden.
 

As more funding become available Buzz Off plans to run more courses in other countries to help address malaria at the local level.

 

Donations to Buzz Off will help to expand these kinds of programs.
