Dr. Jessie Stone works tirelessly for health care in impoverished areas. After visiting Uganda, Dr. Jessie Stone realized that the locals didn't have much knowledge of malaria. This inspired her to get involved and start Soft Power Health as a malaria education and prevention program. She then began selling locals insecticide-treated mosquito nets at an affordable price to help keep them safe from malaria.
