We are delighted to share the news that we have just gone past the milestone of US$750,000,000 raised since AMF began.
It is thanks to 1,392,451 donations from 228,381 people in 199 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: 340,323,131 nets funded (or will be) to protect 612 million people in 40 countries leading to, once all nets funded are distributed and have had their impact, an improvement in local economies of US$9 billion, 200 to 250 million cases of malaria averted and an estimated 255,000 deaths prevented.
A very generous donation of £20,000 from JL in the UK was the specific donation that took us past this total. The significant recent grant from GiveWell played a huge part in reaching this total. AMF has been a top charity at GiveWell for all of the last 16 years and is the only charity to have been so ranked continuously over this period, 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 everyone.
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!
