Magnum Photos is working with Malaria No More on a multi-year effort to chronicle the tragedy of malaria and the global effort to control the disease. Magnum on Malaria offers viewers the opportunity to experience malaria through the lenses of world-class photographers and donate life-saving bed nets.

Magnum photographer Chien-Chi Chang is currently in Uganda, accompanied by writer Kyu-Young Lee, to document the many sides of the malaria story–the tragedy, the solutions, the hope for tackling this disease–through the narrative potential of photography. Visit the Magnum blog to see more of Chien-Chi's powerful images of malaria in Africa.
