Baylor Fights Malaria

My campus ONE group “The ONE Campaign- Baylor” partnered with “Malaria No More” recently to help brighten the futures of millions of individuals around the world suffering from malaria. We conducted a three week initiative designed to promote both awareness on campus and raise money to purchase mosquito nets to prevent malaria.

ONE worked with Baylor professors to lecture on malaria, which included a collaborative effort from the schools of business, journalism, arts and sciences, and social work. The group also did tabling events and handed out information to organizations on how they could raise money. At the end of the campaign, we raised more than $700 to purchase life saving bed nets and signed up an additional 300 students for ONE!

A special thanks goes to APO Service Organization, Baylor Transfer Council, Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, and Baylor’s American Medical Students Association (AMSA).
