Imagine No Malaria is an extraordinary effort of The people of The United Methodist Church to eliminate malaria as a major source of death and suffering 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.

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.

Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me — you did it to me.
Matthew 25:40

The United Methodist Church will work closely with partners like the United Nations Foundation and The Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to deliver a sustainable solution. We stand side-by-side with organizations across the globe determined to put an end to malaria as a major source of death and suffering in Africa.
