World Malaria Day Goes Global!

View World Malaria Day Events

Seven years ago, on April 25th, 2000, African leaders from 44 malaria-endemic countries participated in the first-ever African Summit on Malaria, and declared April 25th as Africa Malaria Day. Last year, for the first time, the United States officially commemorated Malaria Awareness Day, celebrating progress and highlighting opportunities in the fight against malaria. To underscore the U.S. commitment to ending malaria related deaths, President Bush embraced the urgency of the cause by designating April 25th, 2007 as Malaria Awareness Day.

This year malaria awareness goes global with the celebration of World Malaria Day on April 25th! Malaria elimination depends on each of us taking a stand. Here are five things you can do to stop malaria in its tracks:

  1. Donate bed nets for families in Africa: Each long-lasting insecticide treated bed net protects a child from malaria. With one child dying every thirty seconds from this entirely preventable disease this is a great way to make a difference in the fight against malaria.
  2. Plan your own malaria event: a great way to celebrate World Malaria Day is to celebrate with friends and family. We have everything you need to make your event a success.
  3. Dance the night away: By joining our youth outreach program, Stayin' Alive, your school can take an active part in the fight against malaria.
  4. Learn more about the disease: Take 5 minutes on World Malaria Day to learn about this disease.
  5. Tell your friends and family to take a stand against malaria today: send an e-card and donate a bed net in honor of a friend or loved one.
