Zap Malaria - The North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church

Half of the world's population is at risk of malaria.

Our main objective is first to reduce the number of cases of malaria by controlling the malaria-bearing mosquito and interrupting transmission.

Inappropriate use of antimalarial drugs in the past century contributed to widespread resistance in the malaria parasite.

One in five of all childhood deaths in Africa are due to malaria.

Every year there are about 250 million malaria cases and nearly one million deaths.
