“Malaria is a preventable and curable but life threatening disease. In 2015, 91 countries and areas had ongoing malaria transmission. The World Health Organisation reported that there were 212 million cases of malaria, and
429 000 deaths in 2015. 71% of all deaths, an estimated 303 000, were children under 5 years of age. Between 2010 and 2015, the malaria mortality rate among children under 5 fell by an estimated 35%, but malaria still claims the life of 1 child every 2 minutes…”
Donations can be made online here. A tax receipt will be emailed to you. RAM gratefully welcomes all donations.
