March Against Malaria

Walk together to raise funds to Finish the Fight against Malaria

Walk together to raise funds to Finish the Fight against Malaria

When Rotarians come together things get done. By organising a March Against Malaria (MAM) event in your Rotary Club, your actions can help support the work of Rotarians Against Malaria by increasing awareness of, and contribute to the elimination of, Malaria. Across the month of March (or any month if you wish), you have the chance to join your fellow Rotarians and local communities in walking to raise awareness and funds for Malaria elimination.

All funds raised will support Malaria elimination programmes in the Western Pacific Rim region of Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste.

Since the disruptions of COVID-19 a child under 5 now dies of Malaria almost every minute, and Malarial deaths and cases have increased globally by 12% and 6% respectively. Those are horrifying statistics, especially as Malaria is both treatable and curable.

Further, as Malaria impacts mostly poorer women and children, it perpetuates a vicious cycle of poverty in the developing world through maternal mortality, neonatal and child deaths, school absenteeism, burden of treatment costs and overall decreased economic productivity

 

How Can I take Part.

March Against Malaria is an inclusive event. Everyone from young families to older generations can take part. It can be done outdoors or virtually.

As Rotary Clubs across the country begin to announce their March Against Malaria events, we will populate the map below with their details. You can find a March Against Malaria (MAM) event near you and register with the local organizers to help support Malaria elimination.
