Malaria No More UK
Malaria No More UK mobilises the global partnerships, leadership and financing needed to end malaria. Globally, every two minutes a child under five dies from this deadly disease which can be easily prevented and treated. Better bed nets and drugs, and improved health services mean that malaria is beatable if action and investment is stepped up.
Jo and Harry

Our presenter Jo has lived through the agony of watching her son die from malaria. When he was 20, Harry contracted the disease in Ghana where he was volunteering. She says: “Losing a child rips out a part of you that you never fill in.” In Africa, children and pregnant women are most at risk.
Global health crisis

Nearly half the world’s population is at risk from malaria and, with the added pressures of coronavirus currently testing healthcare services around the world, this risk will increase. It is critically important to sustain efforts to prevent, detect and treat malaria, and ensure millions of the poorest and most vulnerable are protected.
Impact

No mother should lose a child to a preventable, treatable disease. Join Jo in helping to make sure that malaria is not forgotten during this global health emergency. For the first £15,000 donated, a long-term supporter of Malaria No More UK will give £2 for every £1 donated, so your gift could be tripled.
