Malaria: We are making progress
How is this for some Living Proof – MORE THAN 500 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REACHED WITH ANTIMALARIAL BEDNETS IN THE PAST 2 YEARS ALONE.
It’s easy to read, but here is a nice little interactive map by our friends at the Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation that visually represents the statistics. It shows how far the international community has come, for example saving 580,547 lives in Nigeria, and how much work we still need to do to completely eradicate this deadly yet preventable disease.
There are 3 main components to this infographic: you can view the progress of individual countries, an explanation of the life saving methods that are used, and a comparison of the number of global lives saved with and without increased interventions such as bed nets, case management and anti-malarial drugs.
You can find the interactive infographic here. Please take a look and pass it on to your friends and family.

Love that ONE is doing something about ending this malaria. Ive thought so often about America and that we (a long time ago) got rid of Malaria in our own country, and wondered why it wasn’t being gotten rid of in other countries where people and mostly children are DIEING of it EVERY DAY! I’ve had malaria twice, I know what it feels like, and I saw others fight it and either win or loose. It’s a in-describable thing to see. Im 17 but I fight against malaria with everything I can. ~ in honor of Mark Gordan, Jessy, and Sherief who have seen loved ones die of malaria, have suffered of malaria, and Sherief who died of malaria at 6 years old. My Good Good friends! I love you!
