Every 30 seconds, an innocent child in Africa dies of malaria.  This disease causes immeasurable suffering across the African continent.  Left untreated, malaria's flu-like symptoms - fever, chills, vomiting, headache - lead to convulsions, organ failure and unnecessary deaths.  All caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, transmitted through the bite of a tiny mosquito.

Imagine No Malaria is an extraordinary effort of The people of The United Methodist Church to eliminate death and suffering from malaria in Africa by 2015. Just as the cross is a sign to us of God’s love, we are called to be a sign of God’s love and commitment to the world.

A sustainable victory.

The key to overcoming malaria’s burden is achieving sustainability, which we will accomplish through:

Prevention: Distributing insecticide-treated bed nets (Nothing But Nets), and working to drain standing water where mosquitoes breed.

Education: Teaching people in rural areas how to protect themselves from mosquitoes and how to identify early symptoms of malaria…before it’s too late.

Communication: Using radio and cell phones to deliver lifesaving information about malaria.

Treatment: Improving existing hospitals and clinics, training community health workers and providing life-saving medicines to those in need.
