THE CAUSE
Malaria is a preventable and treatable
mosquito-borne illness.
By investing in prevention measures and treatment programs for malaria, we can decrease outbreaks, community infection rates, and ultimately lower
mortality rates.
Yet, in 2012 more than 200 million people suffered from the disease and an estimated 627,000 died as a result. Most children who die from malaria perish because they do not get effective treatment.
THE FACTS
-Today, malaria takes a child’s life every minute.
-An estimated 3.4 billion people live in areas at risk of malaria transmission.
-Ninety-eight percent of malaria-related deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa.
-More than 40 percent of the world’s children live in places where malaria is a constant threat.
-Bed nets are the most effective way to save lives from this disease.It costs less than $10 to provide a bed net to a family in need.
THE FUND
The Global Impact Malaria Fund brings together four of the most respected, best-in-the-business international organizations focused on preventing and treating malaria around the world, Doctors Without Borders, Episcopal Relief and Development, PATH, and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
Through this fund, you will join with millions of people to change the world by helping to distribute insecticide-treated nets, providing access to early diagnosis and treatment of malaria, performing indoor/home residual insecticide spraying, and more.
Your contributions provide additional revenue for longer-term programs and an expanded network to prevent and treat malaria around the world.
