WORLD MALARIA DAY 2008

DONATE NOW - JUST $1 CAN HELP SAVE A LIFE

Malaria is the number one killer of African children - but it is preventable and curable. Hedge Funds vs. Malaria & Pneumonia and Africa Fighting Malaria have teamed up to launch a broad-based campaign to buy and distribute high-quality malaria drugs to people in Africa, and test for fake and substandard malaria drugs on sale in African markets.

Here’s the idea: George Washington had malaria. George Washington is on the one dollar bill. For every Washington ($1) you raise, we will:

    1. Provide a person in Africa with a safe and effective malaria treatment.

    2. Conduct quality control testing of antimalarial drugs on the market in Africa.

TAKE CONTROL TODAY AND HELP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST MALARIA!


HERE’S HOW:

    1. Hold your own March of Washingtons event to collect $1 bills (click here for a March of Washingtons handout) and take a picture (check out pictures from past marches).

    2. Upload your picture and tell us about your event at My March. Donate the Washingtons you raised by clicking on Donate Now (or to donate by check: make payable to Africa Fighting Malaria, memo - March of Washingtons, and mail to the address below).
