MALARIA NO MORE
Malaria No More UK
Recognizes that malaria cripples economies, crushes communities and causes heartbreaking loss.
No parent should lose a child from a totally preventable and treatable disease. The majority of deaths from malaria are in children under five who are most vulnerable to a disease that costs less than £1 to treat.
Malaria keeps more children out of school in Africa than any other disease and drains families’ earnings taking up to a quarter of households’ income.
It puts unnecessary pressure on fragile health systems and can account for up to 40% of a country’s healthcare spend.
The disease costs the African economy more than $12 billion every year and a slows the economic growth of countries with high malaria rates by 1.3% – it’s draining countries, continents and communities.
Aloe uses his music to influence positive change and is a passionate supporter of the campaign to end malaria. He travelled with us to Ghana to learn about the impact of the disease and to see a powerful mosquito net campaign we helped to support, covering the whole of the country.
In this short clip, the soul singer, famous for anthems including ‘I Need A Dollar’, sings his hit ‘Wake Me Up’ and explains why he is passionate about the fight to make malaria no more.
FANDANGO FRONTERIZO
Fandango Fronterizo, a country-crossing, communal celebration of dance and music. What began as a local event now draws participants from all over the United States and Mexico, including musicians from Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Held at Friendship Park, one of only a few designated spots on the border for people to see and speak with friends and relatives on the other side. The U.S. side somewhat resembles a prison yard, while the Mexican side is painted with colorful murals, featuring a lighthouse, an observation deck and Boundary Monument #258, an obelisk emblazoned with the phrase “Limite de la Republica Mexicana.”
There are fandangos held in solidarity on the same day in other cities, some as far away as Europe.
