Roll Back Malaria Campaign

AVIF Volunteers will now be assisting with distribution of goods and literature to all our hosts in the effort to eliminate Malaria, in line with Millennium Development Goals 6 and 7 and in attempts to achieve the Abuja targets of reducing malaria mortality and morbidity by 60% before 2010.

Working with KeNAAM (part of the World Health Organisation) we will be disseminating materials for the National Malaria Strategy and Communication.

Simply by passing on information AVIF Volunteers can help prevent, control and reduce the socio-economic burden of malaria. 

 

Small world, it must be. CEO of KeNAAM, Mr Gerald Mwangi Walterfang studied at Leeds University, where he met his wife. (I studied there too and live half an hour away.)

 

 

Thank you, Jacqueline

 

 

Dear Alison, We wanted to share with you an article on Acumen Fund that just appeared in BusinessWeek's "Inside Innovation" supplement (the March 12 issue, now on newsstands).  The story, an extension and update of what was featured in their online magazine last fall, is also up on their website – along with a few web-only features, including slide shows on our investment in drip irrigation and about the Acumen Fund Fellows. We're excited, of course, to be able to share the Acumen Fund message, but more so about the growing interest there seems to be in market-based models for addressing problems of poverty. All the best, Jacqueline Novogratz
