World Malaria Day is a chance to shine a spotlight on the global effort to control malaria. It highlights the need for continued investment and sustained political commitment for malaria prevention and control. Malaria remains both a major cause and a consequence of global poverty and inequity.
According to the World Malaria Report released in December 2019, there were 228 million cases of malaria in 2018 compared to 231 million cases in 2017.
Fight against malaria this April by:
- Raising awareness on social media using #EndMalaria
- Donating to the foundation
- Organising your own fundraiser
- Educating family and friends on the dangers of malaria
