World Malaria Day, April 29th
Malaria kills 800,000 people each year, most of whom are children under 5. One child dies every 45 seconds from this preventable -- and treatable -- disease.
We have a unique opportunity to reverse these statistics -- for good. Our church has committed to raise $15 million for the ELCA Malaria Campaign and join hands with 11 African companion churches in the global effort to prevent, treat and contain malaria by 2015.
Our work is just
beginning. Your help is needed now to educate communities, distribute mosquito nets, and train health care providers. World Malaria Day is April 25, and it’s the perfect time for us to join the efforts in the fight against malaria. Observe World Malaria Day on Sunday, April 29 by donating to the ELCA Malaria Campaign, by phone: 800-638-3522 using a credit card or thru Epiphany making your check indicating "ELCA Malaria Campaign" in your check's memo line and placing your gift in the offering plate.
