A never-ending childhood of malaria

Malaria is a disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes.

It often begins with flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, muscle aches, and fatigue.

In severe cases, it can progress to intense pain, uncontrollable shaking, headaches so severe they impair thinking, and even life-threatening complications.

The disease is particularly devastating for children, who may experience repeated infections that worsen their overall health.

For example, one account describes a malaria episode as feeling like being repeatedly struck by an electric shock, leading to extreme pain and distress.

This suffering is not isolated; it affects millions of people globally each year.
