This project is mainly about saving the children in rural Africa and Asia. One day I was searching the internet for " top causes of death around the world" and came across a website describing the horrendous dieases that the mosquitoe carried and how it killed many children in rural Africa and Asia. So decided to research websites that could help me do something about this issue.
Websites that i searched:

Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in world, due to much external and internal conflict. Though the situation in Cambodia has stabilized, modern agricultural techniques are largely non-existent, and most farming is done at a subsistence level, with rice constituting 92 percent of food production (ruralpovertyportal.org). According to the World Food Programme, 35 percent of the population is malnourished. Education on productive, sustainable, diverse organic farming is needed to improve health and increase food security while not causing environmental degradation in Cambodia.

The Facts:
The world's mountains cover about one-fourth of the planet's land surface and are home to 10 percent of its population. They are a sanctuary for an extraordinary web of plant and animal life and a source of water for all of the world's major rivers.
Yet mountain people, the guardians of these valuable mountain resources, are among the world's poorest, hungriest and most marginalized populations.
