Kenya - Malaria franchise shops

Throughout Africa, malaria kills young children and pregnant women, even though there are drugs that can treat this disease. One of the biggest challenges is getting these effective drugs to remote, rural areas where there are no doctors or health care centres. But a business model of enterprising franchise of shops is changing the methods, making them easily accessible to communities.
