For half the world, a simple mosquito bite can have deadly consequences: Every year, malaria kills approximately 655,000 people, mostly pregnant women and children under the age of five. We can stop this. Since 2000, malaria deaths have been reduced by up to 33% in sub-Saharan Africa, but there is so much more we can do. On World Malaria Day, ONE members from many different faith backgrounds advocated for full funding of effective malaria-fighting programs like the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria.
ONE partnered with important faith-based malaria initiatives to Shine A Light on Malaria, including: Faiths Act, Islamic Relief, Lutheran Malaria Initiative, Union for Reform Judaism, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and Episcopal Relief & Development. Stay tuned for more information on upcoming Faith @ ONE events!
Faith has always been a driving force behind social change. Recognizing this, Faith at ONE seeks to enlist and mobilize faith communities in the fight to end extreme poverty and preventable, treatable disease, by inviting people of faith to use their voices and join in our advocacy campaigns. We're not asking for money, we're asking for voices to speak out on behalf of our most vulnerable sisters and brothers—for smart, effective programs that are saving lives and seeking long term sustainable development.
