Thank you to United to Beat Malaria’s Individual Giving Officer, Candice Woods, for joining our Champion webinar on Monday, October 24 to speak with advocates about the campaign’s end of year fundraising push, United in Health. Click here to view the slides and recording from Candice’s presentation.
In 2023, the United in Health campaign is dedicated to supporting Community Health Workers (CHWs) by providing trainings and tools to carry out their life-saving work. “Community Health Worker” is an umbrella term that includes a range of community health aides, but their goal is to connect communities with their state care systems and state health departments. A combination of economic, social geographic barriers and a lack of health care workers prevent people all over the world from accessing health care. Community Health Workers can address these gaps as part of primary health care teams. By directing resources to community level services in the most disease endemic regions, health systems can fight malaria and diseases with both epidemic and pandemic potential.
What Do Your Donations Support?
- $10.00 can diagnose and treat a child with malaria. Without access to early treatment, a mild case of malaria can rapidly progress to severe illness and death.
- $25.00 can protect five pregnant women and their unborn children from malaria with preventative medication.
- $100.00 can protect a community by providing 20 nets to give a safe night’s sleep for 40 children and peace of mind for their parents.
- $455.00 can provide training for a community health worker.
