2020 Round up and update - Thank you for your support!


As 2020 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

We are currently distributing 34 million nets in three countries – Togo, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. These nets will protect 61 million people when they sleep at night, which is 5% of the population of the African continent. We are particularly proud of this achievement given the context of COVID-19. Our distribution partners have done a wonderful job of adapting processes to ensure that net distributions are maintained throughout the pandemic.

We are carrying out post-distribution monitoring activities, to assess net presence, use and condition, in six countries – DRC, Ghana, Guinea, Malawi, Papua New Guinea and Zambia – where we have previously distributed nets.

We have recently completed the distribution of 1.9 million nets in Sud-Ubangi province and 4.1 million nets in Haut Katanga province, both in DRC.

In 2021, we have already committed to fund 29 million nets for distribution that will protect a further 52 million people and we hope to add to that total.

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 involved in discussions with a number of countries requiring millions of nets each for the period 2021 to 2023. AMF’s immediate funding gap is many tens of millions of dollars.

We will publish commitments as they are made.

580,000th donation and over US$280 million raised so far!

We are thrilled to have passed the milestone of a quarter of a billion dollars raised, with most donations ranging from a few dollars (and £, €, 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. We continue to assess the need for tax-deductibility status in other countries, some of which are already in the application stage and we hope to complete in the very near future.

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 twelfth year in a row
The Life You Can Save has AMF as a top-ranked charity for the twelfth year in a row

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 2021!

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