About Malaria No More UK

Malaria No More UK is an innovative charity, committed to ending suffering and death caused by malaria, a preventable and treatable disease. The charity is part of the global Roll Back Malaria Partnership aiming to reduce malaria deaths to near zero by 2015.

Ending deaths from malaria requires investments in prevention, diagnosis and treatment for malaria including bed nets, spraying, diagnostic tests and medicines. A vaccine is now in development to prevent malaria in the future.

Malaria No More UK works with governments, the private sector, faith groups and the British public to raise vital funds and awareness to support projects in Sub Saharan Africa to help make malaria no more.

Malaria No More affiliates operate in the US, Netherlands and Canada and join an international network of organisations dedicated to tackling malaria including the Gates Foundation as part of Roll Back Malaria.

Where Your Money Goes

Thanks to the support of partners, donors and fundraisers in the UK, we’re already helping make malaria no more.

We are tackling malaria head on, encouraging government and private investors to commit resources; raising awareness about the urgent need for action; and funding malaria prevention and treatment programmes in Africa.

• £5 is enough to buy, deliver and hang a net that will help protect two people from malaria. We’re helping to make sure that everyone who needs a bed net has a bed net.
• We work in countries in Africa where we can have a real impact. We’ve recently funded bed net distributions and helped educate people on their importance, in Ghana, Namibia and Botswana.
• Beyond bed nets, we’re making sure people in Africa are educated about malaria prevention and treatment and that malaria can be quickly and accurately diagnosed. Read more about how we’re helping prevent malaria.

You can get involved and help make malaria no more.

Our Work in Africa

We support work in African countries to ensure that those at risk of malaria can protect themselves from malaria, a life-threatening disease.

International Malaria Campaigns

Roll Back Malaria
The Roll Back Malaria (RBM) partnership was set up by UN agencies and the World Bank in 1998 to ensure the best use of resources – including money and expertise – in the global fight against malaria. There are more than 500 members, which include malaria-endemic countries, national and international aid agencies, NGOs and research groups. Malaria No More UK is a member. RBM’s goal is to halt and reverse the spread of malaria (Millennium Development Goal 6) and eventually to push for its eradication. You can find more information about malaria and what different organisations are doing to tackle the disease on the RBM web site.

United Against Malaria
Malaria No More UK was a founding partner of United Against Malaria – a campaign that was initiated in the run up to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa in 2010. The campaign uses the power of football to raise awareness about the fight against malaria. The coalition is made up of an international squad of football stars, celebrities, non-governmental organisations, foundations, governments and corporations. This group highlighted the need to reach the 2010 goal of universal access to mosquito nets in Africa, a crucial first step to reaching the international target of reducing deaths to near zero by 2015. A group of the organisations originally involved continue to use football to help communicate the need to tackle malaria in Africa. You can read the latest news on the campaign on the UAM website.

worldmalariaday.org
The World Malaria Day website was established to help individuals and civil society highlight the work they are doing particularly around World Malaria Day (April 25).
