The immediate needs in Haiti are search and rescue teams and medical aid. Immediate support can be given via the DEC,the Red Cross, World Vision and others.

In the near to medium term malaria, already a problem in Haiti, is likely to increase significantly due to there being little to stop transmission. News media are quoting teams in Haiti as already concerned about a number of diseases including malaria.

We would like to help.

We have set up a specific donation page. 100% of funds donated here will buy nets for Haiti and we will liaise with the relevant authorities and partners to ensure they are distributed as soon as possible when they are needed, where they are needed.

We are starting the fund with $25,000 as the need is likely to be very large.

If you are able to help, thank you.

We have just added a great new video documenting a recent net distribution in Uganda. 600 nets were distributed in the village of Namulonge, following on from a 400 net distribution in Nov 2008. You can also see photos of the distribution, supporting documents and a list of all the donors who funded the nets.

We'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our fantastic band of video and photo editors. If anyone would like to help out by selecting and captioning sets of photos, or editing videos (video experience required) you can find out more on our volunteers page.

Peter Gostelow is now over 3 months into his epic cycle from the UK to Cape Town, South Africa. After many adventures cycling through Europe he has now reached Africa (via Spain - Morocco). 

Peter's fundraising cycle has already raised enough to buy over 1,000 long-lasting insecticidal nets, protecting on average 2,000 children. You can read all about Peter's journey on his blog: http://www.thebigafricacycle.com as well as viewing some of the fantastic pictures he has taken along the way. You can support and encourage him via his fundraising page: http://www.AgainstMalaria.com/petergostelow

We are very grateful to Citi who have provided us with free global banking since we began. Citi have chosen to showcase our relationship in their latest 'Case Studies for Corporate and Public Sector Clients' report. You can read the full report or view the Against Malaria section.

One of the reasons 100% of the money we receive buys mosquito nets is because many companies and individuals have agreed to help for free. 

On August 16th 2009 Peter Gostelow began a solo and unsupported expedition, by bicycle, from the UK to Cape Town.  His target is to raise £1 for every kilometre cycled (roughly 25,000 in total!).

Peter is keeping a fantastic blog at http://www.thebigafricacycle.com/ detailing his journey with wonderful pictures and observations of the regions he is cycling through. Peter is currently in Portugal and as part of his journey he is raising awareness of malaria as he goes by doing some public speaking. This week he when to the American International School in Lisbon and had a great response.
