Help end malaria by 2015!

Please vote for the malaria project for the Kiwanis Worldwide Service Project. Malaria No More and Canadian Red Cross propose to end deaths caused by malaria in 2015, a goal endorsed by the global community.

Malaria kills 3,000 children in Africa every day. But thanks to a new generation of tools, on-the-ground successes and increased political and public support, the world is better prepared to defeat malaria now than at any other time in history. Investments in malaria are reaping huge rewards, and have helped reduce malaria deaths and illnesses by more than 50 percent in several African countries including Rwanda, Eritrea, Zambia, Botswana and the Islands of Zanzibar between 2000 and 2008.

The project would raise $60 million over six years for mosquito net distribution, training and technical assistance and awareness.

Malaria is one of the diseases that is relatively easy to prevent and defeat! Especially with the recent prediction that there will be a good vaccine in three years and with the release of the medicinal patents!

I would much appreciate your help and would be delighted if you could also share this message with your network!
