Take the Challenge
Millions die from malaria each year and malaria is the world's single largest killer of children and pregnant women. Yet malaria is entirely preventable and treatable. The single most effective prevention is a $5 mosquito net. Malaria.com harnesses the power of the Internet for advocacy, education and fundraising. Our goal is simple: fighting malaria, one bed net at a time, and now you can help!
Join the Schools Against Malaria challenge to make a difference and save lives.
Find Your School
You can view your school's page, make a donation through your school's Challenge page, or donate to the general Schools Against Malaria program. If your school is not yet registered, please join Schools Against Malaria today.
We'll Support You!
Once you register your school for participation in the Schools Against Malaria challenge, Malaria.com will provide educational materials, support, and the tools to track the progress of your team's fundraising through our non-profit partner, the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF). 100% of your money will buy mosquito nets, and AMF will show you where your nets have gone.
Schools compete in a number of areas:
- Best fundraising ideas
- Most bednets funded
- Best Malaria poster
- Best 200 word essay
Join Schools Against Malaria
Sign up your school today and we will set up a free website for your school where you can chronicle your schools efforts, share photos and experiences, and you'll get your own fundraising page where you can track how much you've raised for bed nets.
Fundraising Projects
Schools have come up with a variety of programs to raise funds. For example, Marin Horizon school in Mill Valley, CA raised over $400 with a bake sale. Other schools have done swim races, rummage sales, fasting, etc.
