War fever: Malaria in conflict

Posted by Matt in April 26th, 2008

Poverty and weak health systems contribute hugely to the problem, but another, largely overlooked, factor is responsible for nearly 30% of all malaria deaths in Africa - conflict.

In 2007, 26 million people were driven from their homes by conflict. The effects of climate change - and conflict over limited resources like water, food and land - mean that every year, larger numbers of people are likely to be displaced.

Fight the spread of malaria in Africa
In Africa malaria has decimated villages, ravaging people and economies, threatening the future of the continent. Each year, up to half a billion people worldwide fall ill with malaria, and over a million of them die, mostly children under 5. Insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets are the first line of defense, and a $10 donation will buy one. Learn more at malarianomore.org. (more)

Malaria claims another African life every 30 seconds
Every 30 seconds, malaria claims another African life. Mosquitoes in Tanzania carry the deadly malaria parasite. Expectant mothers are most vulnerable, especially at night while they sleep. Their best and most effective protection is a mosquito net. A contribution of $20 provides vouchers for five mosquito nets and covers half the full cost. Mothers pay the other half, which encourages local stores and kiosks to keep the nets in stock. Lives are saved and the local economy grows!
