Multi-faith Action Against Malaria

Working together to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals and end global poverty

Eight years ago, the world's governments set eight goals to tackle the scandal of global poverty before 2015. One of these includes the target of eliminating deaths from malaria. But neither this, nor any of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), can be achieved without the momentum of a global movement behind it.

Faith groups are already playing a major role in delivering progress on the ground. But if faith communities work together, they can both increase pressure on Governments in the developed world to meet their commitments and, in turn, use their un-paralleled reach in the developing world to ensure increased funding delivers real improvements in people's lives. Faith communities can do so much more together than they can achieve apart.
