From the Trustees of the Against Malaria Foundation
We are delighted to inform all our supporters of the wonderful news that the Against Malaria Foundation’s founder and CEO, Rob Mather, has been awarded an MBE by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2021 New Year's Honours list for his 'services to medicine and charity'. These awards are given for major contributions to civil life and public service and, consequently, are held in very high esteem.
Rob founded AMF in 2004 and since then has worked tirelessly to raise funds and ensure that bed nets end up over the heads of those that need them. The success of AMF in achieving its goals is undoubtedly down to Rob’s vision, enthusiasm and commitment.
This award follows the Commonwealth Points of Light award in 2018, given to one individual from each of the Commonwealth nations for tackling global challenges. He was recognised for his outstanding work to reduce cases of malaria and child mortality across the world. The award was presented by the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William on behalf of The Queen.
