UGANDA: Miriam

Agnes Akullu lives in fear of malaria, which is on the rise in Uganda partly due to climate change.

Her eight-month-old daughter Miriam suffered with it shortly after birth.

“Her body was hot, yellow eyes, vomiting, she lacked appetite. I thought my baby wouldn’t survive,” Agnes, 39, of Wirao, says.

“The rain has increased breeding places for the mosquitoes. I want her to grow in a peaceful place with a good environment.”
