Raise Your Voice

Contact Congress and be heard today.

We are still facing a critical gap in funding to fight malaria, and we need people like you to contact your members of Congress and urge them to continue the progress we’ve made.

The U.S. government is the largest contributor to programs that combat malaria through its support for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the President’s Malaria Initiative, as well as the work of UN agencies like the World Health Organization, UNICEF and UNHCR. Our government is a leader in malaria prevention in part because of the efforts of citizens like you who care enough to raise their voices on this important issue.

Your voice is critical in this fight.

You have the power to make a huge impact by encouraging your members of Congress to continue funding efforts that improve malaria prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and research and development, and to keep building on the amazing progress that has already been made.

Become a Champion

The United to Beat Malaria champions are a group of supporters who are leading the fight against malaria by engaging members of Congress, building awareness, and raising funds. Champions receive exciting leadership opportunities and training, as well as access to a dedicated team of experts at the United Nations Foundation.

Use Storytelling to Speak Out

United to Beat Malaria supporter and father of two Jeff Girod remembers traveling to malaria endemic regions as a child where he slept under a net with his parents. Unfortunately, Jeff’s father contracted dengue, a mosquito borne illness, and passed away from medical complications. Jeff shared this powerful story with Congresswoman Judy Chu and encouraged her to record a video stating her support for the President’s Malaria Initiative and the Global Fund that provide critical funding for eradicating other mosquito borne illnesses like malaria. In addition, Jeff invited Congresswoman Chu to speak at the 2016 United to Beat Malaria Summit in Washington, D.C. where the Congresswoman attributed her actions on speaking out about the devastating impacts of malaria to Jeff’s advocacy awareness.
