BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, Dec. 10, 2020 – In recognition of its innovative and wide-reaching malaria work in Nigeria and The Gambia, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has been named to the Million Lives Club – a group that spotlights individuals and organizations that are successfully improving the lives of people around the world who live on less than $5 a day.
The recognition highlights CRS’ “Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLIN) Campaigns” in Nigeria and The Gambia, which, as of this year, have led to the distribution of more than 62 million treated bed nets. At the core of the campaigns are two mobile technologies called the Cash and Asset Transfer (CAT), built on the RedRose ONEsystem, and Dimagi’s CommCare, which provide real-time data that helps CRS and partner teams track bed nets and make more informed decisions about distribution sites.
