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. Working with rural villages to find solutions:
At Netlife we believe that the people are the solution.
We live amongst the villagers that will receive our nets.
We talk to the people. By working together we establish the best way for villagers to prevent the spread of malaria.
We train villagers to help those in their community install and utilize their new anti-malarial bednets.
