About Malaria Partners International
Malaria Partners International is a non-for-profit organization run by Rotarians and community leaders. We focus on advocacy within the Rotary community and on projects and large-scale programs in the regions where malaria is most prevalent. Malaria Partners International works in close alignment with national malaria control programs in endemic countries and has established chapter organizations in Zambia and Uganda. Our efforts, in concert with our strategic partners, can reduce malaria morbidity and mortality through multi-faceted efforts at the national, provincial and community level.
We work to ignite an international Rotarian campaign for the global eradication of malaria. We advocate for support of Malaria elimination through presentations at numerous Rotary clubs throughout the U.S. and Africa. In addition, we participate in international malaria advocacy events to bring visibility and funding for malaria prevention and treatment.
Our vision is that malaria is eliminated worldwide.
