JCI Accra Royale is affiliated to the La Dadekotopon Municipal Assembly, under which the La Kaklamadu Community falls. After conducting an analysis in the area, we realized that the root cause of malaria for them was a huge gutter which also served as a dumping site for some households. So we\u2019re here today to fumigate their gutters, screen them for malaria, distribute mosquito nets and educate them on the need to sleep under nets, as well as how to properly hang them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJCI is in partnership with the United Nations (UN) and whatever we do is in line with the global agenda.
