Save lives with long-lasting bednetsMalaria is a terrible disease and one of the world's biggest killers of children under 5. Thankfully, a $6 bednet can stop a malaria-carrying mosquito from infecting children while they sleep. There are many randomized controlled trials suggesting that this is one of the most cost-effective and proven ways to save a life. Read a detailed GiveWell review to learn more.
Protect children from malaria with SMCSeasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) programs aim to distribute preventive anti-malarial drugs to children 3-months to 59-months old in order to prevent illness and death from malaria. There is strong evidence that SMC substantially reduces cases of malaria. Programs that implement SMC tend to have a terrific track record of reaching a large proportion of the children they target for treatment. See GiveWell's review to learn more. |
