Have you heard of the SHOW ME Campaign? Can we help?


The Millennium Promise Alliance, recognizing our collective ability to control one of the leading causes of death in Africa, calls on all world leaders to continue, and intensify, the fight against malaria.
Up to three million people, mainly children in Africa, die every year of the disease. A child in Africa dies every few seconds because they lack access to life saving interventions like bednets and medical therapies.
The global effort must be urgent and ambitious enough to achieve the targets set forth in the Strategic Plan to Roll Back Malaria (2005-2015), which include 80% coverage of core interventions by the year 2010, in order to achieve at least a 75% reduction in morbidity and mortality by 2015. Even faster progress, however, is possible and desirable.
The Alliance especially calls for fulfilling the important G8 pledge in the G8 Gleneagles Summit for "the additional $1.5 billion a year needed annually to help ensure access to anti-malaria insecticide-treated mosquito nets, adequate and sustainable supplies of Combination Therapies including Artemisinin, presumptive treatment for pregnant women and babies, household residual spraying and the capacity in African health services to effectively use them . . ." (paragraph 18 of the Africa Communique).
The additional $1.5 billion per year would signify a total donor effort in the fight against malaria in Africa of approximately $2 billion per year, a substantial and needed increase in the commitment to fight the disease. Enough of this funding should be channeled through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria to enable the Global Fund to offer full support to all qualifying plans presented in Round 6 and later rounds.
Bolstering this effort, the World Bank should also follow through on the urgent implementation of its Malaria Booster Program. The United States Congress should take this historic opportunity and answer the call of President Bush to be a leader in this fight by fully funding, and expanding, the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI).

The big number one problem with this and other groups like it is over 80% of money goes to admin fees. Only .20 on the dollar reaches a few people who really need it.
