Imagine No Malaria

ImagineNoMalaria15094.jpgEvery 45 seconds, a child in Africa dies of malaria. Millions of lives, needlessly lost each year. A continent. Entire nations…slipping away. Slipping through life’s precious net. Unless you hear the buzzing inside you.

The bite of malaria doesn’t have to kill. But only if you stop it.

Imagine No Malaria is more than just a campaign against a disease that kills children and destroys families. It’s a movement, to make real change in the world.

Join us as we work with families in Africa to end millions of needless deaths from this disease.

Imagine No Malaria helps us take the next step in this fight. Think of it as Nets Plus. We continue to support Nothing But Nets, because bed nets are an effective tool against the disease. But, we’re doing more…improving Infrastructure, Communications and Education.

Our team of malaria experts in Africa have been working tirelessly in this life-and-death fight. Thousands of miles of travel, countless meetings and plenty of sleepless nights have helped achieve a great deal in a very short time.

And we are not alone. Imagine No Malaria has some pretty awesome partners to help make beating malaria a reality. We work with organizations who are global leaders in the fight against malaria and other diseases of poverty
