Protecting 3,150 People from Malaria
Mar 2025Against Malaria
Charity Partner
Your support in March 2025 has saved lives. Together with Against Malaria, we distributed 1,750 long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), protecting more than 3,150 people from one of the deadliest yet preventable diseases.
Malaria disproportionately affects children under five, robbing families of their future. These nets are more than fabric. They are a frontline defence against disease, giving parents peace of mind and children the chance to thrive.
Healthier communities mean stronger economies. When people are sick, they cannot farm, drive, teach, or support their families. By reducing illness, these nets create lasting benefits, ensuring families can work, learn, and build a more secure future.
The nets we have funded are expected to prevent around two deaths, avert 1,000 cases of malaria, and improve the local economy by £36,000.
The Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) is GiveWell, Giving What We Can and The Life You Can Save’s top-ranked charity and has been for twelve years. AMF is frequently described as the global Effective Altruism movement’s #1 charity given the top-billing it achieves year after year judged on impact and effectiveness. AMF’s running costs (which are small as a result of the extraordinary efficiency with which AMF operates, and which are ~1% of revenues each year) are funded independently meaning 100% of public donations buys nets. Nets are distributed though carefully selected partner organisations with high levels of data-driven accountability and transparency accompanying each net distribution. Be One Percent’s donations to AMF, and the specific net distributions they fund, are shown here. Donations welcome!
