Help us stop tiny vampires from infecting people with malaria!

Preventing malaria is one of the most cost-effective global health interventions we know of. Malaria kills 630,000 people a year (mostly kids), and infects more than 200 million others. Distributing bed nets is the most effective way we know of to fight this, and that's what the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) does.

GiveWell, an efficacy-focused charity evaluator estimates that a life is saved for every $4,500 donated at AMF. The cost to purchase, distribute, and follow up on each bed net is $4.95, so the $4,500 is based on studies of efficacy of bed nets, not based on an assumption that every bed net saves a life.

Note: Please leave the “share info” checkbox on the donation page ticked. It allows AMF to send an email to see where your specific nets will be distributed. You will not be added to any mailing list unless you explicitly check the second box labeled "Also subscribe to their mailing list" in which case you will receive quarterly update emails from AMF. AMF never sends soliciting emails.

Help the Against Malaria Foundation #stoptinyvampires

One of GiveWell's top charities for the past several years, AMF provides anti-malarial bednets to people in need. 

From Givewell: 
What do they do? AMF (againstmalaria.com) provides funding for long-lasting insecticide-treated net (LLIN) distributions (for protection against malaria) in developing countries. (More)

Does it work? There is strong evidence that distributing LLINs reduces child mortality and malaria cases. AMF conducts post-distribution surveys of completed distributions to determine whether LLINs have reached their intended destinations and how long they remain in good condition. AMF's post-distribution surveys have generally found positive results but have some methodological limitations. (More)

What do you get for your dollar? We estimate that the cost to purchase and distribute an AMF-funded net is $4.95, or $4.65 excluding in-kind contributions from governments. The numbers of deaths averted and other benefits of distributing LLINs are a function of a number of difficult-to-estimate factors, which we discuss in detail below. (More)

Is there room for more funding? We believe that AMF is likely to be constrained by funding. We estimate that AMF could use up to an additional $37.8 million to support LLIN distributions that will occur between now and late 2023. 

AMF is recommended because of its:

Focus on a program with excellent evidence of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.
Processes for ensuring that nets reach their intended recipients and monitoring whether they remain in homes and in good condition over the long-term.
Room for more funding – we believe AMF will be able to use additional funds to deliver additional nets.
Transparency – AMF shares significant information about its work with us and we are able to closely follow and understand its work.
