We fund anti-malaria nets, specifically long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), and work with distribution partners to ensure they are used. We track and report on net use and impact.
The equivalent of two 747s full of children under 5 die from malaria every day and malaria is the world’s single largest killer of pregnant women.
The most effective way of preventing malaria is for people in affected areas to sleep under a mosquito net as malaria-carrying mosquitoes typically bite between 10pm and 2am.
Each net protects two people when they sleep at night from the bites of these malaria-carrying mosquitoes that would otherwise cause severe illness or worse.
Each £1.50 buys a net that protects two people.
Every £2,500 can be expected to save a life, avert 1,000 cases of malaria and improve the local economy by £30,000 (12x the donation amount). When people are ill they cannot farm, drive, teach or function, so the improvement in health leads to economic as well as humanitarian benefits.
100% of funds passed to AMF buys nets - nothing goes on administration, which is low and already covered.
