MedShare joins with Faiths Act Fellows to fight malaria

Decatur-based MedShare is working with Faiths Act Fellows, a program of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, to mobilize multi-faith communities to fight malaria.

MedShare hopes to raise money to ship a container to Moyamba Hospital in Sierra Leone. The hospital is in the southeastern region of the African nation and is in need of very basic medical supplies.

The 40-square-foot container will include supplies and insecticide-treated bed nets and will cost about $25,000 to prepare and ship.
