As 2024 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 drawing to the end of a twelve-month period during which 55 million nets will have been distributed across seven countries - Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, South Sudan, Togo, Uganda and Zambia - to protect 99 million people.
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.
2025 and 2026 will be busy years with 54 million nets already committed to protect a further 97 million people. We expect to make an announcement soon regarding additional 2025 and 2026 distributions.
Impact
The impact of the 55 million nets distributed is expected to be, ± 20%, 25,000 deaths prevented, 13 million cases of malaria averted and a US$1.4 billion improvement in local economy (12x the funds applied). When people are ill they cannot farm, drive, teach – function, so the improvement in health leads to economic as well as humanitarian benefits.
This is a terrific contribution from the tens of thousands of donors who have contributed significantly over the last two years, and the many partners with whom we work that make possible the distribution of these life-saving nets.
Once all the nets we have funded in our 19 years and can currently fund have been distributed and have had their impact, the overall impact is expected to be: 283 million nets funded and distributed, 450 million people protected, 210,000 deaths prevented, 115 to 200 million cases of malaria averted and US$7.4 billion of improvement in local economies.
Future distributions
Many recognise the impact of AMF’s work, yet we still have significant immediate funding gaps that are over US$300m. While this number seems daunting, every US$2 matters as that funds another net and allows two more people to be protected when they sleep at night, so no support is too small or inconsequential.
1,170,000th donations so far and over US$636 million raised!
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.
The two most recent legal entities added are AMF (Portugal) and AMF (Korea), following the addition of AMF (France) and AMF (Switzerland). We continue to assess the need for tax-deductible status in other countries.
AMF top ranked!
AMF has again been top-ranked by the leading organisations 'dedicated to finding
outstanding giving opportunities'.
GiveWell has ranked AMF a top charity for all of the last 17 years (since 2009). GiveWell has been a strong supporter of AMF's work and we thank their team for their continuous and thorough assessment of what we do.
The Life You Can Save has AMF as a top-ranked charity for the fourteenth 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.
Giving What We Can have similarly continuously top-ranked AMF over its history.
