Imagine No Malaria works to eradicate death and suffering from malaria
in Sub-Saharan Africa. They do this through grants provided through in-
country boards of health. These resources provide education, prevention,
treatment, and help to communicate best practices around malaria
prevention.
Malaria is a part of the cycle of poverty in many of these places. Illness
leads to the inability to harvest crops or time away from work, which
reduces the money a family needs to sustain itself and provide adequate
food. This in turn leads to a greater risk of contracting diseases like
malaria. By addressing just one aspect of the cycle, we can benefit ALL
aspects of the cycle.
