It's time to Change the Story

The powerful Change the Story film launches the new campaign from Zero Malaria. 

Directed by Grammy award-winning director Meji Alabi, the film features the newest Zero Malaria ambassador, young climate and health champion Ellyanne Wanjiku Chlystun, and long-time Zero Malaria ambassador and child rights advocate David Beckham.

The film tells the story of how changing weather is making malaria harder to predict and control and the impact this is having on children around the world.

The impacts of climate change are being felt now – whether it's disruption to life-saving malaria programmes like mosquito net distribution, or floodwater creating the perfect breeding ground for malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

Children are most affected by malaria, yet their voices can be the most unheard.

The Change the Story campaign is highlighting the impact climate change and other rising threats are having on malaria and efforts to end the disease. The campaign places children’s stories from some of the countries most affected by malaria and climate change at its heart.

Changing weather, health emergencies and humanitarian crises are creating the perfect storm for diseases like malaria, threatening years of progress against the disease.
