Malaria is one of the leading causes of child mortality; it kills about half a million children every year. That’s 1320 preventable child deaths per day [1]. Against Malaria Foundation distributes insecticide treated mosquito nets in developing countries, saving lives. Between 2004 and 2019, the use of mosquito nets prevented around 816 million cases of malaria and saved around 4.8 millions lives [2].
Impact of your donations
For just $5, a mosquito net protects two people against malaria for two years. Leading charity evaluator GiveWell estimates that it costs an average of $5,500 to save a life by donating to Against Malaria Foundation [3].

‘Malaria kills about 400,000 people every year and more than 200 million fall ill. Before bed nets were made available, it was three or more times that. Nets are a proven intervention - a more effective way of saving lives than any other. There is still a long way to go and every death from malaria is preventable’
