For Immediate Release
With all the talk of Bird Flu, West Nile Virus and HIV/AIDS, few people remember
that malaria is the granddaddy of all infectious diseases. An ancient problem,
malaria infects an estimated 300 to 500 million people per year and kills over 2
million annually.
Malaria claims the life of a child every 30 seconds and is the leading cause of
death of African children under the age of five. But malaria is completely
preventable and treatable!
As Freedom from Hunger has shown in its Malaria Initiative, village women can be
empowered to protect their families from this deadly disease. This summer, we will
announce the findings of our impact study that documents how practical and
sustainable solutions-when placed directly in the hands of women-can effectively
fight malaria.
You can join Freedom from Hunger in its efforts to fight malaria. We\'re looking for
volunteers to write op/eds to their local paper on or around April 25, Africa
Malaria Day, so we can spread the word on cost-effective solutions to this terrible
disease.
If you are interested in helping us, please contact Freedom from Hunger\'s Manager of
Volunteers and Event Services, Amber Stott. Amber will provide you with a template
for an op/ed. She can be reached at (530) 758-6200 ext. 20.
