Nigeria currently faces a significant humanitarian crisis. With 26% of global malaria cases and 31% of deaths in high-burden countries occurring within our borders, the impact is devastating
To defeat malaria, we must understand how it moves. The disease is caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which invades red blood cells. However, the parasite cannot move on its own.

Eradicating malaria is too large a task for any single organization. At The Malaria Project, our governance is built on a foundation of radical collaboration.
