Abstract

Given the high incidence of malaria, the cost of treatment and lost time at work, as well as limited knowledge about malaria prevention and treatment, Saving for Change uses SGs to deliver malaria education to members to enhance the impact of the programme. The Mali experience illustrates that SGs provide a powerful platform for delivering education.
