World Malaria Day 2025
World Malaria Day: It's time to change the story
We're celebrating how far we've come in the global fight to end this deadly disease. Groundbreaking innovations have been developed that have saved and protected millions of lives. Over the past two decades, we have helped halve the death rate from malaria.
But this progress is at risk. A perfect storm of challenges is putting the world at risk of a major resurgence of malaria. Drug and insecticide resistance, changing weather patterns, funding shortfalls, and humanitarian crises are making the fight harder.
Today, we call on world leaders to continue to invest in the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria and Gavi the Vaccine Alliance, so we can get new and existing malaria fighting tools to the people who need them most.
Come behind-the-scenes to meet the children, champions and those on the front line of the fight against malaria
This World Malaria Day, we’re calling on leaders to listen to children’s stories. Their experiences hold the truth about what’s working, what’s at risk, and why urgent action is needed. The choices leaders make today will shape the future of millions of children around the world.
Securing Britain's Future
Over the past two decades, global efforts have halved the death rate from malaria, with British-backed science playing a vital role, from life-saving drugs to nets to pioneering vaccines.
But today, the challenges facing the malaria fight are putting all of that at risk.
A new Zero Malaria Britain report shows that continued UK investment in malaria science will not only save lives but boost Britain’s economy, generating billions in activity, driving private sector investment, and creating thousands of jobs
With continued investment of the Global Fund and Gavi, the UK can ensure that vital new and existing tools can reach the communities most at risk and save lives.
The fight against malaria will not be won or lost on one day alone, but World Malaria Day gives us an opportunity to highlight the progress we have made fighting this disease and the opportunity we have to save millions more lives and achieve a zero-malaria world.
