The Buzz: World Malaria Day 2014

Join the fight to save 300,000 lives! 

Celebrate World Malaria Day!

Since 2006 we have cut malaria deaths in half. That is something to celebrate! 
Still, an innocent life is lost every 60 seconds to malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. Today, we are reminded of the opportunity we have to end malaria in this decade. Every $10 contributed to Imagine No Malaria will save someone's life. How many lives will you save?
Continue the fight to end malaria today! 
•Join us tonight at the Community Pancake Dinner at Pasadena First United Methodist Church
•Get your Twibbon to show your support on Twitter and Facebook!
•Share Imagine No Malaria with a friend, and invite them to join the fight
•Pray for those affected by malaria, and post on the Facebook Prayer Wall
•Contribute to Imagine No Malaria: through our website, through your local church or by texting MALARIA CP to 27722

Continue the Momentum

Mother's Day is May 11, 2014
Did you know? 
•Of those who die of malaria, 90% live (and 
die) in Africa
•85% of those who die of malaria are children under five years old and pregnant women
•One in five children will die before they reach the age of five because of malaria (and even more than that in some regions)
•Malaria is preventable and treatable. Proper use of insecticide-treated bed nets will reduce malaria rates by 50%
•$10 will save a life because it can provide a bed net to prevent a person from contracting malaria or the necessary medications to treat the disease
•You can donate online, through your local church, or simply by texting MALARIA CP to 27722
