We are delighted to share the news that we have just gone past the milestone of US$1 billion raised since AMF began.
It is thanks to 1,641,833 donations from 253,000 people in 206 countries that we have passed this total. Our thanks to so many people who so generously care about the fight against malaria.
Other numbers, in increasing order of importance, are: 500 million nets funded (or will be) to protect 900 million people in 40 countries leading to, once all nets funded are distributed and have had their impact, an improvement in local economies of US$13.5 billion, 250 to 300 million cases of malaria averted and an estimated 385,000 deaths prevented.
Fittingly, it was a grant of US$276m from GiveWell that took us past this total given the support they have shown AMF over the last 18 years. AMF has been a top charity at GiveWell for all of those years and is the only charity to have been so ranked, reflecting our commitment to our guiding principles of impact, accountability, transparency and efficiency.
Thank you to all who have donated so far, to all those who have provided pro bono support to AMF as well as to our many partners in the field who work so hard to bring about change.
We are so grateful to you.
With significant funding gaps that still exist, AMF's commitment to fighting malaria is as strong as ever and the need to fight this disease is urgent. Every $2 donation matters as much as ever, as each net matters to the two people it protects.
From all of us at AMF – thank you.
