From Henrietta H. Fore, USAID Administrator and Admiral Timothy Ziemer, PMI Coordinator on the Observance of World Malaria Day 2008
Date:4/24/2008

mplementation, there is now evidence that we are making an impact. For example, in Zanzibar, the percentage of children who tested positive for malaria dropped from 20 percent in 2005 to less than 1 percent after the distribution of long-lasting ITNs and indoor residual spraying.

Every day, more groups and individuals join our efforts to fight disease and despair. Grassroots campaigns like Malaria No More and Nothing But Nets have inspired tens of thousands of Americans to act by donating $10 bed nets to families in Africa. Where people see real hope for saving lives, we are witnessing an urgency and willingness to act.

Malaria is beginning to be rolled back, setting the stage for big gains in the next few years. The President and First Lady have lent their voices and compassion to galvanize action and spur grass roots and private-sector efforts to eliminate the disease. For the first time, the elimination of one of Africa's leading killers of children is within our reach.
