PanAfricare, an international non-profit organisation, is using basketball as a sensitisation tool to eradicate malaria in Nigeria.

Claire MomPanAfricare, an international non-profit organisation, is using basketball to sensitise secondary school students on eradicating malaria in Nigeria.

“In basketball, you learn respect, teamwork, discipline, and hardwork. You learn resilience and all these are needed for you to implement projects, be a better citizen, and to even excel in everything that you do in life,” Adah said. “The project is being implemented in 40 schools. We started in 10 schools, which shows growth, and we’re hoping to take it further.”“Nigeria is one of the endemic countries where malaria prevalence is very high and so it takes a gradual process, and getting people to adopt preventive measures like sleeping in a mosquito net has been difficult,” Adah said.
