Against Malaria is an initiative of the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF), a charity registered in the UK, US, Australia and a number of other countries.
AMF launched and ran World Swim Against Malaria (WSM) on 3rd Dec 2005 in which more than 250,000 people swam and fundraised. 100% of the US$1.3m raised purchased 270,000 long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) which were distributed to protect 540,000 (mainly) children from biting insects when they sleep at night.
This is a list of all those people who have helped with Against Malaria.
One of the reasons 100% of the money we receive buys mosquito nets is because many companies and individuals have agreed to help for free.
These people and companies have also helped us in many different ways:
Many people have volunteered to help select, order and caption the photos we receive from each distribution of nets. These are used to tell the story of the distribution so donors can see where their nets went.
Volunteers:
Many people have volunteered to help with our blog by suggesting, researching and writing posts.
Many people have volunteered to help by entering data collected as part of our post-distribution surveys, which assesses, amongst other things, the condition of the nets.
The non-English versions of several of our websites, brochures, posters and other material would not have been possible without the generous, pro-bono support of the following companies and individuals:
