Malaria Must Die So Millions Could Live
2024 – 2026
Malaria remains one of the leading causes of preventable illness and death in the regions WWD serves, particularly among children under five and pregnant women. Our Malaria Awareness campaigns teach communities how the disease spreads, how to recognize early symptoms, and how simple, low-cost prevention — like insecticide-treated bed nets and standing-water removal — can dramatically reduce transmission
