Support World Malaria Day...


Be counted and join the fight to eradicate malaria. Sign in at the official website for World Malaria Day at: http://www.worldmalariaday.org/index.cfm to support World Malaria Day and join the campaign.

The UNICEF and ONE, 2 of my favorite cause-oriented organizations, are very active in promoting the fight against malaria.

According to UNICEF, insecticide-treated nets were distributed from 30 million in 2004 to 100 million in 2008. Despite these efforts, over 1 million continue to die every year from malaria, most of them, children from Africa.

The event launched in Washington marked the start of 'One World Against Malaria', the first-ever campaign to provide every African with an insecticide-treated net by 2010 and to end deaths from malaria by 2015.

Every little bit helps. Spread the news....
