The children at Amazing Grace find time to play, but chores are always a priority, especially when it comes to their health and well being. Below children receive new mosquito nets to replace old damaged ones that hang over their beds. Since mosquitoes carry malaria, an infectious disease that can cause death, it is important that netting be replace often. Most netting now comes coated with a substance that kills mosquitoes that land on it. Old netting loses it's effect over time and large holes that are made in the netting allow mosquitoes to get to the children.
The children don't have the luxury of a washer and dryer, so they must wash their clothes by hand on a daily basis. Seen below are children washing clothes and bringing in water from a local well about 1/2 mile away. Water must be brought in several times a day not only for washing clothes, but also for drinking and cooking.
