Malaria No More.


Why malaria?Malaria kills 3,000 kids in Africa

every day—but it doesn’t have to be

this way.

Why now?Thanks to a new generation of

tools, on-the-ground successes

and increased political and

public support, the world is better

prepared to defeat malaria now

than any other time in history.

Why us?The world is winning the fight

against malaria. Malaria No More

leverages every opportunity to save

lives with partnership, innovation

and a relentless determination to

end malaria deaths for once and

for all.

malaria no more’s mission is as simple as our name. We are committed to ending malaria deaths in Africa by 2015—and we use every tool in our arsenal to relentlessly pursue our goal.

The world is poised to achieve the first great humanitarian success story of the 21st century by ending this preventable and treatable disease. The malaria community has the momentum, the support and the tools. Funding has increased exponentially, proven control tools are available and African countries are aggressively tackling malaria within their borders with worldwide support.

Malaria’s moment is now. Malaria No More was

founded in December 2006 by business leaders Ray Chambers and Peter Chernin, with an eye toward delivering private-sector expertise and an entrepreneurial approach to a global health issue. We bring our business acumen to the malaria community, serving as a catalyst for impact in the effort to end malaria deaths. By shining a bright light on malaria and finding innovative solutions to challenges, Malaria No More works to leverage our expertise to amplify the power of the fight against malaria—and get proven

interventions into the hands of families in Africa.

The world is winning the race to save lives—but we still have more to do. To reach our 2015 goal, we must provide access to malaria interventions like nets and medicines by December 31, 2010. Thanks to a groundswell of public support, determined partners and ambitious goals, the world’s chances against malaria have never been more promising. It’s up to us to keep that promise.

In 2009, Malaria No More catalyzed some of the biggest moments of the fight against malaria:

► We mobilized a new grassroots community on Twitter to get the word out about malaria and raise funds for mosquito nets on World Malaria Day.

► We partnered with world-renowned singer Youssou NDour to empower Senegalese families to increase net usage and fever treatment during the country’s national mosquito net distribution.

► Our Malaria Policy Centerin Washington, D.C. built support for malaria control with the Congressional Malaria

Caucus and expanded our global network.

► We partnered with some of the biggest players in business to launch the Malaria Capital Campaign and engage the private sector in the malaria fight.

The 2009 Malaria No More Stakeholder Report tells the story of the malaria community’s progress against the disease and how Malaria No More is working with partners to achieve our goals.

Malaria No More is not your average charity.“Marketing and Media Lessons From Twittermania”

AdAgeMay 8, 2009All it takes is 140 characters to help change

the world. When Ashton Kutcher sent a message about malaria through Twitter, an online social networking and micro-blogging tool, we discovered the newest weapon in the fight against malaria. A simple tweet sent by the star was soon multiplied across the Web, engaging millions and raising malaria awareness among a brand new audience.

But Ashton didn’t stop there. Finding himself gaining in popularity over CNN’s “Breaking News” Twitter feed, he challenged the network giant to a race to one million Twitter followers—and pledged ten thousand mosquito nets to Malaria No More if he got there first.

The race was on. CNN jumped at the challenge and took to the airwaves, while Ashton inspired Web users across the

Twittersphere. Thousands of people joined the race and in the early hours of Friday, April 17th, Ashton crossed the million mark, beating CNN. In the excitement, stars including Oprah Winfrey, Ryan Seacrest, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Sean “Diddy” Combs and hundreds of individuals donated mosquito nets to fight malaria. The campaign raised more than half a million dollars to protect children from malaria. Moreover, millions of Twitterers learned about what they could do to highlight the disease, and “World Malaria Day” became one of the Top Ten Most-Tweeted phrases on April 25th.

In any successful social change movement, grassroots power is crucial—and Ashton and Twitter took mass participation to a whole new level. The fight against malaria has gone viral.

The fight against malaria requires teamwork to break through on the world’s largest stage—the first World Cup on African soil in 2010. The “United Against Malaria” campaign is a partnership of soccer teams and heroes, celebrities, health and advocacy organizations, governments, corporations and individuals who have united ahead of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa to win the fight against malaria. Together, we are working to harness soccer fever and engage

the worldwide soccer community to build awareness, educate about prevention and treatment, and advocate for malaria support among soccer fans across the globe.

Building on Malaria No More’s relationships with FC Barcelona, Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Sports en Español, we are working to activate soccer fans around the world to join the global effort to send malaria off the field for good.

FC Barcelona is “More Than a Club”—and more than a partner to Malaria No More. Proving they’re champions both on and off the soccer field, the world’s top team has continued to raise awareness about malaria in-stadium and beyond. This year, FC Barcelona is taking its leadership even further by distributing mosquito nets across Africa at the FC Barcelona Foundation’s International Network of Solidarity Centers (XICS). In March 2009, Barça President Joan Laporta and star player Seydou Keita traveled to Keita’s native country of Mali to launch a XICS Center in Bamako, where they distributed a thousand mosquito nets to local children and encouraged them to sleep under the nets. Additional funds from the partnership sent 1,500 more nets to the XICS Center in Senegal in July and lessons about how to protect against malaria are now part of the XICS curriculum. FC Barcelona continued its support during its U.S. summer tour, joining “United Against Malaria” and raising awareness on the West Coast.fc barcelona’s seydou keita and

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ annual White Party commands one of the brightest spotlights of the year—and in summer 2009, it shone that light on the effort to end malaria. Diddy joined Ashton Kutcher to co-host the White Party for Malaria No More, raising awareness and funds for life-saving mosquito nets. Diddy’s fashion label, Sean John, designed a limited-edition “Celebrate Life: End Malaria”

t-shirt that sent two mosquito nets to Africa with every purchase. Ashton and Diddy tweeted and sent live streaming video from the party, inviting the Web audience to join in and celebrate life. Malaria No More was featured in a broad range of press about the White Party, including E! News, Extra, Access Hollywood, People, US Weekly, and newspapers across the country.

Every person can help change the world for an African family by learning about malaria and doing whatever they can to fight the disease—including kids. Twelve-year-old Abbie from Utah told Malaria No More, “It has been my dream for a couple years to help save lives. I have earned $20 that I would like to donate…finally my dream has happened!” Thanks to Abbie and millions like her, children across Africa are sleeping (and dreaming) safely under a net.

National Geographic Kids and National Geographic Explorer magazines broaden kids’ horizons and introduce them to the wider world. In partnership with American Idol’s Jordin Sparks, the “Be A Star, Save A Life” program taught kids about malaria and was featured in three editions of the magazines. As part of the in-class curriculum for kids ages eight through 14,

“Be A Star, Save A Life” empowered kids to take action and emulate their Idol, who traveled to Ghana with Malaria No More last year. By donating their allowances (sometimes in pennies!) and engaging their classrooms, these kids helped send mosquito nets to more than 6,000 families in Africa to protect children like them.

InvestmentCatalystWe’ve got malaria on the run—but the last few laps are crucial. Malaria No More works with local partners and global leaders to strategically invest in creative concepts and effective programs, from nets to innovative finance to demand creation. We provide the new perspective, the missing link, the top-off funds. The return on our investments? Healthy kids and strong families.

World-famous singer Youssou NDour has a voice that is recognized across the globe. Now he’s using that voice to amplify the fight against malaria in his home country and working with local partners to get Senegal singing a different tune—one of a country where no child dies of malaria.

“Surround Sound: Senegal” is a new initiative to help local leaders create a culture of malaria control.

The campaign activates key sectors of Senegalese society—including entertainment, sport, faith, local business and government—to encourage people to use mosquito nets, to recognize malaria symptoms and to seek treatment.

Youssou, a Malaria No More Board Member and one of Senegal’s largest media owners, is using his expertise, talent, contacts, and marketing savvy to help

Senegal become Africa’s next success story in the fight against malaria.

Senegal’s National Malaria Control Program and international partners were gearing up for a distribution of nearly two million mosquito nets for children under five nationwide. We wanted to bring our marketing background and Youssou’s unparalleled reach to the table to help get the word out.

To launch the partnership, Youssou collaborated with fellow Senegalese artists to write “Xeex Sibbiru”, a pop song that tells the story of a young man who gets malaria and misses out on life. The song encourages him and all Senegalese to sleep under a mosquito net. This song, along with radio messages from Youssou himself, played on radio stations and in 1,300 health huts in the lead-up to the net distribution. Youssou

hosted a 15,000-person concert to launch the campaign, where he and Malaria No More joined with the Senegalese National Malaria Control Program, the Ministry of Health, the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, World Vision, ChildFund International and dozens of international partners who made the distribution a success.

As part of this multi-year partnership, we will continue to pioneer new ways to creatively surround Senegal with a message of malaria control and conduct sophisticated market research along the way so that “Surround Sound: Senegal” can serve as a model for leaders in other countries.

The world provided the mosquito nets and medicine. Youssou helped create the demand. Now it’s up to all of us to put these tools to work.

To fight malaria effectively, it’s important to support and expand the reach of on-the-ground partners with innovative projects designed to save lives. In Rwanda, we partnered with Project Rwanda, a local organization, to provide community health workers with the tools they need to battle disease on the front lines. Thanks

to a generous grant from the ExxonMobil Foundation, we provided 50 bikes so workers from the Rukara Health Facility could travel to remote villages and deliver critical interventions and medicines to families who are otherwise unable to access them. Why reinvent the (bicycle) wheel? Helping strong partners do their job well saves lives.

Malaria No More is working with Sesame Workshop to bring Sesame Street’s unique ability to connect with kids to the fight against malaria. In addition to teaching

letters and numbers, Neno (Africa’s “Elmo”) will help kids learn how to protect themselves from malaria. Sesame Workshop created Kilimani Sesame television, radio, print and teaching materials that will be distributed to children across Tanzania as part of our effort to end malaria deaths.

When Hadji Diop lost his daughter to malaria, he vowed not to let any other family in his small Senegalese village suffer as he did. Hadji convinced his community to pledge to use mosquito nets and pay a fine if kids were caught sleeping outside the net! The program model extended to 22 surrounding villages and there have been no malaria cases in 18 months. This is exactly the kind of innovative thinking that we’re working to promote in Senegal.

We partner with National Malaria Control Programs and international organizations to get nets over beds, contributing to the collective effort to cover every family by the end of 2010 and save as many lives as possible by 2015.

Our distributions include:

co m o r o sFor the first long-lasting insecticide-treated net distribution on the island nation, we teamed up with the Comoros National Malaria Control Program and Sumitomo Chemical with an ambitious goal: to propel coverage of pregnant women and children under five from zero to 50% in just one year. With a combined kick-off distribution of 77,500 mosquito nets, we’re on our way.

b o t s wa naThe Government of Botswana, the William J. Clinton Foundation and Malaria No More piloted an innovative new approach in Okavango district, Botswana. Using the existing infrastructure of Botswana’s indoor residual spray teams, Malaria No More provided 32,000 nets to prove a new model for universal mosquito net distribution across Africa. The Okavango pilot program increased net ownership to 91% of all households in the district. The simple and cost-effective effort was so successful that Botswana is planning to arm its spray teams with nets for a nationwide distribution—giving malaria a one-two punch.

ta n z a n i aThe Tanzanian Islands of Zanzibar are already a malaria success story; now the country is looking to translate that success to the mainland. As part of Tanzania's national campaign to reach universal mosquito net coverage of children under five, we provided 267,000 nets to the Tanga region of the East African country. Thanks to UNICEF's skilled distribution of the nets and the Tanzanian Red Cross “hang up” campaign to encourage their use, all households in Tanga have a net and 95% of children under five are sleeping under them at night.

Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria together carry more than half of Africa’s malaria burden. To help address this immediate need, Malaria No More is working to kick off a 20 million net donation to UNICEF from UNITAID. UNICEF needed support to cover some of the distribution costs, so we stepped up with a contribution of $2.77 per net to cover delivery. That means that every $10 we invest deploys three nets to families in need. Even better, our partners at U.S. Fund for UNICEF rallied its supporters to match our investment. Together, we’re sending almost three million nets into the field, proving that two heads—and three nets—are better than one.

The world has injected a surge of funding into the malaria fight and African countries are making ambitious grant requests from multilateral funding institutions, like the Global Fund, to tackle malaria at home. The challenge now is to convert these international funding commitments and grants into nets over beds—and quickly. Malaria No More developed NetGuarantee, an innovative finance mechanism, to accelerate delivery of nets by providing a payment guarantee to net manufacturers that ensures on-time, in-full order payments. With use of NetGuarantee, the net manufacturing process—which usually

occurs only after funding for a grant is disbursed to a country—can instead run parallel to the grant signature process. This way, the nets are ready to move as soon as the grant is funded, speeding delivery by months and saving lives along the way.

Malaria No More is making strides to establish NetGuarantee’s operations, develop a collateral fund to back payment guarantees, and pilot an innovative finance mechanism to deliver nets early. Stepping forward to partner and participate in the initiative’s launch are donors, multi-laterals and private sector partners alike. Malaria control: signed, sealed, delivered.

Africa is getting ready for the fight of a lifetime. Thanks to a marked increase in funding, African countries are absorbing billions of dollars for malaria control to reach the 2010 universal coverage goal. It’s vital that these countries be equipped with the expertise and skills to build aggressive and effective action plans. To support countries in this effort, Malaria No More is working with the Malaria Control and Evaluation Partnership in Africa (MACEPA) to conduct regional training workshops with National Malaria Control Programs

from 32 different African countries. Led by the Alliance for Malaria Prevention (AMP), the workshops provide an opportunity for countries to share best practices, get advice from African and international experts and create strategies for implementing, monitoring and evaluating mass net distribution campaigns. Helping each other fight malaria is more than a neighborly gesture: pan-African and international cooperation is the best way to end malaria deaths continent-wide.

NetGuarantee…reflects a growing diversification from conventional government grants to more sophisticated varied and hybrid models.

To keep malaria a priority on the policy agenda, the Malaria Policy Center and our partners in global health advocacy work together to lobby the Washington community to keep malaria at the forefront of debates on the U.S. role in global health. Staff briefings on Capitol Hill have discussed the need to build on the current momentum against malaria, the impact of the economic crisis on the disease and the

importance of continued U.S. leadership against the disease. Together, the Malaria Policy Center and the malaria community help push the needle forward in developing a results-oriented and effective U.S. strategy to end malaria deaths in Africa. Sophisticated and accessible information about progress and tactics against malaria are vital tools to building and sustaining support at the highest levels of government.

In February 2009, veteran Congressman and former U.S. Ambassador to Tanzania Mark Green joined the Malaria Policy Center as Managing Director. Working closely with partners in global health advocacy, the Policy Center is making an impact in Washington by engaging policymakers and inspiring U.S. leaders to take action. In addition to his impressive résumé and invaluable perspective, Mark is bringing new energy to the malaria fight on Capitol

Hill by establishing the Policy Center as a trusted voice in the malaria community and collaborating with the Congressional Malaria Caucus and the Senate Working Group on the disease. The Policy Center’s dedicated team combines forces in global advocacy efforts, works to shape and influence U.S. strategy and presents stimulating analysis of global health legislation on its website, www.MalariaPolicyCenter.org.

As policy makers realize the successes of malaria programs in Africa, they also find links between the disease and efforts to improve maternal and child health and battle other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The Policy Center is working with leaders in the global health community and government to develop an integrated

approach to these interrelated barriers to growth. As Africa rids itself of its malaria burden, countries will be able to focus on health system strengthening, economic development and tackling hunger, poverty and other diseases.

Thanks to strong advocates in the government of Tanzania and leadership from the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative, Tanzania is gearing up to cover every family with a net. On a return trip to Tanzania, Mark Green met with his former staff member, Iddi. Together, they hung a brand new mosquito net over Iddi’s sons’ shared bed and looked forward to the day when no family in Africa suffers from malaria.

Under the leadership of U.S. Representatives Donald M. Payne and John Boozman, the Congressional Malaria Caucus more than doubled its membership in 2009 and broadened support for malaria control in Congress. In addition, U.S. Senators Russ Feingold and Roger Wicker launched a bipartisan Senate Working Group dedicated to sustaining awareness and working with the Obama Administration on malaria advocacy as part of the U.S. government’s

global health agenda. On World Malaria Day, we partnered with World Vision, ONE, Friends of the Global Fight, maternal health advocate Sarah Brown and actor Forest Whitaker to mark the occasion with the Congressional Malaria Caucus and UN Special Envoy for Malaria Ray Chambers. Helping the U.S. continue to be a leader in the global effort to save lives? That’s a policy we can all get behind.

In 2006, former MP and businesswoman The Honourable Belinda Stronach and comedian Rick Mercer founded Spread the Net, a grassroots effort to inspire Canadians to donate 500,000 nets to fight malaria in Africa. Stronach took Canada’s fight against malaria to the next level by launching Malaria No More Canada in 2008, Malaria No More Canada launched as the first organization in the country devoted to bringing together government, business, non-profits and individuals to ensure the goal of eradicating malaria is met. Malaria No More Canada burst onto the scene with Golf Rocks Fore Malaria, co-hosted by Alicia Keyes, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Peter Chernin. It garnered significant media attention and raised $600,000. Malaria No More Canada supported the establishment of the first Canadian All-Party Parliamentary Caucus on Malaria and is working with the Tony Blair Faith Foundation's Faiths Act campaign on mobilizing Canadian faith communities to work together to fight malaria. w w w. ma l a r i a no m o r e . ca

Malaria No More UK launched in April 2009 and immediately created a buzz. British sporting heroes and founding members of the Leadership Council, David Beckham, Andy Murray and Denise Lewis, joined Prime Minister Gordon Brown at No. 10 Downing Street to cover the door of this iconic residence in a mosquito net, catching the eye of millions worldwide. Malaria No More UK works with British leaders across the private sector, politics, faith, in sport and in fashion, to raise awareness and promote Britain’s role in the fight against malaria. Thanks to increased public and government support, both the Labour and Conservative parties have announced new commitments for malaria from 2010. Executive Director Sarah Kline and her team focus on getting the word out about malaria in the UK and internationally, and fundraising for programs on the ground. Malaria No More UK has been featured extensively in a wide range of media including the BBC, Sky TV, The Sun, The Daily Mail, Vogue, and others.

Malaria No More Netherlands officially launched on April 25, 2007 under the leadership of philanthropist Fred Matser and Dutch Minister of Development Cooperation Bert Koenders. Partnering with Dutch organizations and local African organizations, Malaria No More Netherlands supports ten community-based malaria intervention programs in nine African countries. Malaria No More Netherlands works with individuals, schools and grassroots organizations to raise awareness and funds for the fight against malaria. When Dutch celebrity and humanitarian Arjan Erkel joined the organization in early 2009 as CEO, he engaged the support of Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and established a partnership with the young professionals group Round Table Netherlands to strengthen Dutch support for the effort to end malaria deaths. Round Table International, through its member countries, are considering supporting the project.

To reach our goal of ending malaria deaths in Africa by 2015, we need strong leaders.

Malaria No More is reaching out to individuals who are committed to the fight against malaria and eager to take action to help save lives. To kick things off, Michael and Marjorie Loeb became 2015 Leaders by opening their home to friends and supporters to celebrate the launch of the “Surround Sound: Senegal” campaign.

The 2015 Leaders are proactive members of the global effort to end malaria deaths who help lead the charge against the disease in addition to providing financial support for Malaria No More programs. Dedicated to stopping malaria in its tracks, the 2015 Leaders help get tools into the field faster to reach as many people as possible.

2015 is our deadline and the 2015 Leaders are a lifeline to Africa.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, private sector leaders came ready to talk business. And malaria.

Business leaders Peter Sands of Standard Chartered Group, Rex W. Tillerson of Exxon Mobil Corporation and Peter Chernin, formerly of News Corporation and Chairman of Malaria No More, joined together as Co-Chairs of the Malaria Capital Campaign, an effort to raise $100 million from the private sector to help provide everyone at risk in Africa with anti-malaria tools by the end of 2010.

Fighting malaria is the best investment

that the world can make today—and business can play a major role in the global effort to end deaths. By making strategic investments, adopting best practices and leveraging core competencies, the private sector can help the world close the deal.

The Malaria Capital Campaign is a partnership between Malaria No More and the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and was established with gifts totaling $38.5 million from ExxonMobil, Marathon Oil in partnership with the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, and NYSE Euronext.

Ending malaria deaths in Africa will yield tremendous results, in economic as well as humanitarian terms. This is not just philanthropy; this is good business practice.

Interfaith cooperation—globally and locally—is crucial to winning the battle against malaria.

In 2009, we joined with partners, including the office of the UN Special Envoy for Malaria, the Center for Interfaith Action on Global Poverty, the Case Foundation and the United Nations Foundation to host the “One World Against Malaria” event. The malaria community and African and U.S. faith leaders inspired faith institutions around the world to end malaria deaths.

With interfaith communities all over the world joining forces to fight the disease, malaria doesn’t have a prayer.

In April 2009, BritWeek—a celebration of British culture in Southern California—hosted its BritWeek gala to help fight malaria. Under the leadership of Los Angeles British Consul-General Bob Peirce and American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance creator Nigel Lythgoe, the event made a huge impact.

Keynote speaker former British Prime Minister Tony Blair discussed the importance of fighting malaria and his foundation’s partnership with Malaria No More to galvanize interfaith communities to take on the disease in Africa. Guests

included Ryan Seacrest, David Brabham and rocker Chris Daughtry and the evening launched a charity auction of unique items and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

The Los Angeles Times wrote of the star-studded gala, “It’s hard to imagine anything more moving than [the gala], where a who’s who of industry power brokers joined international luminaries…to raise money for Malaria No More”.

The gala was a great success, raising more than $1 million to fight malaria in Africa.

Thanks to mosquito nets produced in the A to Z Textile Mills in Arusha, mothers across Tanzania are protecting their families from malaria. But Mama Neema went one step further. The nets kept her kids healthy enough to go to school every day, so she took on a

new job: traveling to communities throughout her country, emphasizing the importance of mosquito nets. Empowering natural leaders like Mama Neema to take on malaria in their home countries makes every family stronger.


a g r e at e r g i f tWhen a child donates $10, he helps save a life. But when he donates his 10th birthday, he helps change the world. Illinois-born Ryan Skarnulis hosted a “giving party” to celebrate his birthday and asked that his friends make donations to Malaria No More instead of gifts. Thanks to Ryan’s generosity, he helped 100 families protect themselves from malaria with mosquito nets.

m o r e t h a n t h i n m i n t sThe Girl Scouts of Central California South celebrated their annual World Thinking Day, inspired by the UN Millennium Development Goals, by fighting malaria. Over 7,000 Girl Scouts joined the global community to raise awareness about the disease, raise funds for life-saving mosquito nets and earn their “Help Stop Malaria” merit badge. The project helped benefit their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in Africa.

mam b o aga i n s t ma l a r i a !Compton High School in Compton, California hosted the “Dancing 4 Hope” event, where students and teachers went toe-to-toe in a dance competition, performing the cha cha cha, waltz and freestyle dancing—and all for a good cause. Hundreds of people from the community came out for the dance and learned about malaria. Compton High School raised $10,000 and attracted national media attention in the Los Angeles Times.

2 6 . 2 m i l e s c l o s e r t o e n d i ng ma l a r i aLast year’s ING New York City Marathon was a “net-worthy” race to save lives. Nine runners joined our team and went the extra mile by helping to raise money for Malaria No More and make sideline supporters aware of the malaria problem in Africa. Collectively, the team raised $35,000 for life-saving mosquito nets—enough to protect more than 7,000 people from malaria! In 2009, 25 runners are racing for Malaria No More and their fundraising efforts are matched by a generous donor, dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000.

f i g h t i ng ma l a r i a i s a lway s i n fa s h i o nThe Berkeley College United Nations Student Club and Malaria No More partnered in the “2 Make A Net” charity fashion show in downtown Manhattan. Students from different campuses showed off their African-inspired designs on the runway to help raise money to send nets to Africa. The fashion show raised $13,805 from participating schools and a post-fashion show auction, showing that finding creative ways to save lives never goes out of style.
