Malaria No More UK is United Against Malaria
Malaria No More UK is a founding partner of United Against Malaria – an international squad of football stars, celebrities, non-governmental organisations, foundations, governments and corporations uniting ahead of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa to reach the 2010 goal of universal access to mosquito nets in Africa, a crucial first step to reaching the international target of reducing deaths to near zero by 2015.
Support for United Against Malaria is gaining momentum with commitments announced from players including US football team captain Landon Donovan and clubs LA Galaxy and FC Barcelona. Bono, actress Ashley Judd and Melinda Gates have also pledged their support.
Malaria No More UK is working with a range of partners on the campaign including Comic Relief and ONE in the UK and global partners PATH, Roll Back Malaria, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Population Services International and the United Nations Foundation, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
