Our Mission

The purpose of The Malaria Project is to rid the world of malaria and other mosquito-borne illnesses. These diseases afflict millions of people every year, and kill hundreds of thousands of them. Malaria remains a global health scourge well into the twenty-first century, despite human society possessing the knowledge, the resources, and the ability to end this problem forever. Although conquering malaria and similar diseases once and for all is an ambitious, perhaps even audacious undertaking, humanity has accomplished things of this magnitude before, such as the eradication of smallpox and polio.

What Makes Us Different?

You’ve probably heard of organizations or agencies that send bed nets and antimalarial medications to far away places plagued by the diseases carried by mosquitos. While that is helpful and necessary, it doesn’t quite do the trick. Malaria and other mosquito-borne illnesses still infect hundreds of millions, and kill hundreds of thousands, of people every year across the world.

What we must do is assist these places in ridding themselves of the mosquitos that cause malaria and other diseases. It’s been done before; many of the warmer parts of the wealthy world were once home to malarious mosquitos, and great efforts were undertaken to end the disease there once and for all.

We can do the same thing everywhere else. How? By taking the same actions that were taken in other places, such as:

• clearing out mosquito habitats

• removing breeding spaces

• protecting the human population

• implementing public health surveillance and reporting systems

That’s where The Malaria Project comes in. Our organization partners with the public health and other relevant officials in areas where malaria is endemic to guide, assist, and execute the anti-malaria mentioned above.
