Imagine No Malaria is an anti-malaria campaign run by the United Methodist Committee on Relief. The ministry is seeking to raise 75 million USD in order to eradicate malaria by the end of 2015 . Of the raised money, $25 million is to be sent to the Global Fund.

The Program

The program is based around four key points: prevention, treatment, education, and communications.

Prevention

Imagine No Malaria hopes to prevent malaria by using bed nets, draining standing water, creating access to medicine, and improving overall sanitation.

Treatment

The United Methodist Church has been working in Africa for more than 160 years. The church has the infrastructure and hospitals to treat many patients. The Imagine No Malaria campaign has the goal of getting medicines to all of those hospitals and clinics.

Education

Communications

The program provides education on malaria and information through its vast radio network in Africa. The campaign also delivers solar powered and hand-crank radios to African women.
