AMF agrees to fund 1.6 million nets for distribution in Kwango province in DRC in Q2 2024


AMF has agreed to fund 1.6 million nets for distribution in Kwango province in the Democratic Republic of Congo with the distribution scheduled for May 2024. These nets fill the funding gap and aim to achieve 100% coverage across 14 health zones protecting 2.9 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

DRC is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.

These nets could be expected to prevent 1,500 deaths, avert 1 to 1.5 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Kwango province. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD40 million.

We are about to allocate individual donations to these specific distributions and many donations, large and small, will fund these nets.

The distributions will be implemented by the NMCP (National Malaria Control Programme) and other partners, with whom AMF will work closely and with whom we have an agreed set of processes and a strong and open working relationship. We will report transparently on progress and performance throughout and after the distribution.

Key elements of our agreement include:

  1. AMF is funding 1,584,150 LLINs, with distribution in Q2 2024
  2. This is a co-funding partnership with non-net costs (shipping, pre-distribution, distribution) funded by the Presidents Malaria Initiative (PMI).
  3. To support accurate data gathering, re-checks of net need numbers will take place by re-visiting a material number of households chosen at random.
  4. Household-level data will be collected using electronic-devices and then transferred into AMF's Data Entry System (DES) for analysis and verification. This, and the above elements combined, are the basis for a highly accountable distribution.
  5. Post-distribution monitoring of net use and condition (PDMs) will take place every nine months for two and a half years in all districts. AMF will fund this.

Further information is available via the dedicated Kwango, DRC 2024 distribution page.


AMF agrees to fund 6.3 million nets for distribution in Zambia in Q3/Q4 2023


AMF has agreed to fund 6.3 million nets for distribution in Zambia with the distribution scheduled for September to October 2023. These nets fill the funding gap and aim to achieve 100% coverage across 74 districts in six provinces protecting 11.3 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

Zambia is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.

These nets could be expected to prevent 2,500 to 3,000 deaths, avert 2 to 3 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Zambia. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD135 million.

We are about to allocate individual donations to these specific distributions and many donations, large and small, will fund these nets.

The distributions will be implemented by the NMEC (National Malaria Elimination Centre) and other partners, with whom AMF will work closely and with whom we have an agreed set of processes and a strong and open working relationship. We will report transparently on progress and performance throughout and after the distribution.

Key elements of our agreement include:

  1. AMF is funding 6,300,000 LLINs, with distribution in Q3/Q4 2023
  2. This is a co-funding partnership with non-net costs (shipping, pre-distribution, distribution) funded by USAID's President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) and by the Global Fund
  3. To support accurate data gathering, re-checks of net need numbers will take place by re-visiting a material number of households chosen at random.
  4. Household-level data will be collected using electronic-devices and then transferred into AMF's Data Entry System (DES) for analysis and verification. This, and the above elements combined, are the basis for a highly accountable distribution.
  5. Post-distribution monitoring of net use and condition (PDMs) will take place every nine months for two and a half years in all districts. AMF will fund this.

$500,000,000 raised!


We are delighted to share the news that we have just gone past the milestone of US$500 million raised since AMF began.

It is thanks to 919,371 donations from 185,318 people in 189 countries that we have passed this total. Our thanks to so many people who so generously care about the fight against malaria.

Other numbers, in increasing order of importance, are: 227,693,156 nets funded (or will be) to protect 409,847,681 people in 40 countries leading to, once all nets funded are distributed and have had their impact, an improvement in local economies of US$6 billion, 150 to 200 million cases of malaria averted and an estimated 170,000 lives saved.

Fittingly, it was a grant of US$2.6m from GiveWell that took us past this total given the support they have shown AMF over the last 15 years. AMF has been a top charity at GiveWell for all of those years and is the only charity to have been so ranked, reflecting our commitment to our guiding principles of impact, accountability, transparency and efficiency.

Thank you to all who have donated so far, to all those who have provided pro bono support to AMF as well as to our many partners in the field who work so hard to bring about change.

We are so grateful to you.

With funding gaps that exist, AMF's commitment to fighting malaria is as strong as ever and the need to fight this disease is urgent. Every $2 donation matters as much as ever, as each net matters to the two people it protects.

From all of us at AMF – thank you.

2022 Round up and update - Thank you for your support!


As 2022 draws to a close we would like to thank all who have supported and worked with AMF this year as without donors, distribution partners, volunteers and pro bono supporters we would not be able to do what we do in contributing to the fight against malaria. Thank you!

Distributions update

In the last 12 months we have completed the distribution of 16.9 million nets to protect 30.5 million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Guinea.

In the next two months we will complete the distribution of a further 17.1 million nets to protect 30.8 million people in DRC and Nigeria.

For 2023, we have allocated and committed funding for 68.1 million nets that will protect a further 123 million people in Chad, DRC, Guinea, Nigeria, South Sudan, Togo, Uganda and one other country (to be announced shortly when the agreement is signed).

2023 will be a busy year with 17 separate distributions and significant work seeking funds for the 2024 to 2026 distribution period.

This is all thanks to you, our donors, and the generosity and caring you have shown for people who live many thousands of miles away from you.

We work with many distribution partners and other independent monitoring partners, all of whom have done a wonderful job this year and we thank them for their partnership.

In addition, we are carrying out, with other partners, post-distribution monitoring activities to assess net presence, use and condition, in all the countries in which we have previously distributed nets.

Future distributions

There remains a huge need for nets. The gap for the next two years runs into tens of millions of nets. AMF is in discussions with a number of countries requiring millions of nets each for the period 2024 to 2026. We publish AMF's immediate and overall funding gap which is kept up to date in real-time as funds are received and opportunities added. For the 2024 to 2026 period, the funding gap is very large.

893,000th donation and over US$490 million raised so far!

We are thrilled to have passed these totals, with most donations ranging from a few $, £, €, CAN$, NZ$, AUS$, bitcoin and more - to many thousands.

We are so grateful for your support. Thank you!

Tax-Deductibility

We now have tax-deductible status in 14 countries. Recently added has been France with the establishing of AMF (France). We continue to assess the need for tax-deductibility status in other countries, and two are in the application stage.

AMF top ranked!

AMF has again been top-ranked by the two leading organisations 'dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities'.

GiveWell has ranked AMF a top charity, for the fourteenth year running. AMF is the only organisation to have been ranked every year in this way. GiveWell has been a terrific supporter of our work and we thank their team for their continuous and thorough assessment of our work.
The Life You Can Save has AMF as a top-ranked charity for the eleventh year in a row. TLYCS and their team has equally been a stalwart supporter and their work and recommendations have led to tens of thousands of lives being saved.

A suggestion for the Christmas/Holiday season!

Donate nets instead of gifts.

We send the recipient/s an email (on a date you choose e.g. 25th Dec) with your personal message and a link to their 'gift page', allowing them to follow the progress of their nets.

May we wish you a very happy and healthy 2023!

The AMF Team - Rob, Andrew, Peter, Shaun, Jenny, Julian, Sylvie, Jonas, Ruth and Maeve

AMF agrees to fund 10.8 million nets for distribution in Uganda in 2023


AMF has agreed to fund 10.8 million nets for distribution in 53 districts across four regions in Uganda in the second half of 2023. These nets aim to achieve 100% coverage of four million households protecting 20 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

Uganda is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.

These nets could be expected to prevent 5,000 to 6,000 deaths, 3 to 6 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Uganda. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, would be about USD 310 million.

We are about to allocate individual donations to these specific distributions and many donations, large and small, will fund these nets.

The distributions will be implemented by the Uganda Ministry of Health’s National Malaria Control Division (NMCD), with whom AMF will work closely and with whom we have signed a legal Agreement detailing our support and a mutually agreed set of operational procedures and real time data sharing. This is our third distribution in partnership with the NMCD with whom we have a strong and open working relationship.

We will report transparently on progress and performance throughout and after the distribution.

Key elements of our agreement include:

  1. AMF is funding 10,800,000 LLINs, with distribution in Q3 and Q4 2023
  2. This is a co-funding partnership with non-net costs (shipping, pre-distribution, distribution) funded by the Global Fund
  3. To support accurate data gathering, re-checks of net need numbers will take place by re-visiting a material number of households chosen at random
  4. AMF will fund an independent partner to monitor the progress of the distribution in a significant number of randomly selected villages which generates a material quantity of data that is closely assessed
  5. Household-level data will be collected using electronic-devices and then transferred into AMF's Data Entry System (DES) for analysis and verification. This, and the above elements combined, are the basis for a highly accountable distribution.
  6. Post-distribution monitoring of net use and condition (PDMs) will take place every nine months for two and a half years in all districts. AMF will fund this.

Nigeria is one of the two most malarious countries in the world with malaria responsible for the deaths of at least 150 children under 5 each day in Nigeria alone, with high incidence levels seen across the large majority of the country.

These nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness. This initial quantity of nets could be expected to prevent 6,200 deaths, 3 to 6 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Nigeria. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, would be about USD 240 million.

800,000th donation received, US$460,000,000 raised and 400 million people able to be protected - Thank you for your support!


We are delighted and grateful to be able to share that we have recently gone past several milestones - our 800,000th donation received, US$460,000,000 raised and a total of 400 million protected once we have distributed all the nets we can now fund.

Most donations range from a few dollars - and GBP, EUR, CND, NZD, AUD, YEN, BTC, ETH and more - to many thousands, with occasional large and very large donations. These donations have come from donors in 193 countries.

We publish and keep up to date in real-time our overall funding gap, which remains significant and is likely to be so over the coming few years so donations are put to work straight away.

As has always been the case, every US$2 matters as that buys a net that protects two people when they sleep at night, so we are incredibly grateful for your support for, and generosity to, AMF in helping achieve these milestones.

If ever I or the team at AMF can answer any questions, please do let us know. (Yes, I have a question). Thank you!

In the last 12 months we have completed the distribution of 36.3 million nets to protect 65.3 million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Togo and Uganda.

In the next four months we will complete the distribution of 20.6 million nets to protect 37.1 million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea and Nigeria.

For 2022 and 2023, we have allocated and committed funding for 82.3 million nets that will protect a further 148 million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and one other country (to be announced shortly when the agreement is signed).

This is all thanks to you and the generosity and caring you have shown for people who live many thousands of miles away from you.

We work with many distribution partners and other independent monitoring partners, all of whom have done a wonderful job of adapting processes to ensure that net distributions are maintained throughout the pandemic.

In addition, we are carrying out, with other partners, post-distribution monitoring activities to assess net presence, use and condition, in all the countries in which we have previously distributed nets.

Future distributions

There remains a huge need for nets. The gap for the next two years runs into tens of millions of nets. AMF is in discussion with a number of countries requiring millions of nets each for the period 2022 and 2023. We publish AMF's immediate funding gap which is kept up to date in real-time as funds are received and opportunities added. For the 2024 to 2026 period, for which commitments will be sought from AMF starting in 2022, planning has started and the funding gap looks very large. COVID has not helped this.

740,000th donation and over US$425 million raised so far!

We are thrilled to have passed these totals, with most donations ranging from a few $, £, €, CAN$, NZ$, AUS$, bitcoin and more - to many thousands.

We are so grateful for your support. Thank you!

Tax-Deductibility

We now have tax-deductible status in a dozen countries. Recently added has been Switzerland with the establishing of Against Malaria (Schweiz). We continue to assess the need for tax-deductibility status in other countries, some of which are in the application stage.

AMF top ranked!

AMF has again been top-ranked by the two leading organisations 'dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities'.

GiveWell has ranked AMF a top charity, for the thirteenth year running. AMF is the only organisation to have been ranked every year in this way. GiveWell has been a terrific supporter of our work and we thank their team for their continuous and thorough assessment of our work and the improvements to what we do that have resulted from their reviews and suggestions.
The Life You Can Save has AMF as a top-ranked charity for the tenth year in a row. TLYCS and their team has equally been a stalwart supporter and their work and recommendations have led to tens of thousands of lives being saved.

A suggestion for the Christmas/Holiday season!

Donate nets instead of gifts.

We send the recipient/s an email (on a date you choose e.g. 25th Dec) with your personal message and a link to their 'gift page', allowing them to follow the progress of their nets.

May we wish you a very happy and healthy 2022!

The AMF Team - Rob, Andrew, Peter, Julian, Jenny, Shaun, Aisling, Sylvie and Jonas
