Malaria continues to be the leading cause of child mortality globally and deaths due to malaria continue to be unacceptably high. Even though significant progress has been made in malaria prevention and treatment, the world is not on track towards meeting the 2030 Sustainable Development targets. Malaria continues to claim more than 600,000 lives every year, mostly impacting young children and pregnant women. The World Health Organization’s 2022 World Malaria Report concludes that without increased investment of resources, a preventable and treatable disease will continue to destroy livelihoods, weaken already fragile health systems, and claim the life of a child every minute. Now is the time to increase momentum to eradicate malaria globally.
In Zambia, malaria season peaks during the rainy months from September to May. At this time, we are raising funds to provide 20,000 long lasting insecticide treated nets and education to benefit more than 75,000 children or 35,000 adults as each net can sleep up to four young children or two adults. Help make this a reality by donating generously. Every dollar counts. And, as always, 100% of your donations go towards programs and no part is used for overheads.
Thank you for giving the gift of health to thousands of adults and children vulnerable to malaria.
