Community health worker Blessing Ichekula is a beacon of hope in the fight against malaria in her community of Mbayan in central Nigeria. She noticed that the impact of malaria weighed especially heavily on the shoulders of women in her community and was determined to do something about it.
Peace Corps volunteer Blessing Uzoeshi barely thought about mosquitoes until she moved to Guinea. Now she is helping track down mosquitoes to gather essential information for keeping her community safe from malaria.
