Every day, vector-borne diseases adversely affect the lives of millions. Malaria alone will kill a child every 45 seconds and kill nearly 800,000 people annually. Beyond the individual tragedies, these diseases impose staggering social and economic costs on afflicted areas and limit growth and development.
We believe that eliminating disease empowers communities to provide for themselves and achieve sustainable, self-determined growth. We work with local and global partners to help mitigate these devastating illnesses and ensure communities are not alone in their efforts to improve their quality of life. The result is fewer sick people, a workforce better able to sustain itself, healthier students and a brighter future.
