Araéta sub-zone is one of the four subzones of the Southern Red Sea Region. Although it has a long history that traces back to the times of the Portuguese and the Turkish colonial period, it has been deprived of any developmental activities.

It is an undeniable fact that education is the basis for any kind of development, be it on a personal level, society or at national level. The reality of our world clearly demonstrates that countries where the majority of the people are educated have developed while those with uneducated peoples are still struggling to develop.

The prevalence of wide range malaria epidemic areas has been the cause for increased number of malaria infected people. In the case of Eritrea, though highlands situated in the elevation of 1500 meters above the sea level are mostly free of malaria, its occurrence is however, seasonal in western lowlands and coastal plains and particularly in Gash-Barka Region. The intensity for the transmission of malaria, therefore, varies in accordance to rainfall distribution and humidity of the respected area.
