A child dies from malaria every 30 seconds in Africa. Insecticide Treated Nets protect children from malaria, but they are taxed in 26 African countries making them too expensive for most families to afford. You can demand that African Heads of State keep their promise to Drop the Malaria Tax!

Please forward this to all your friends and colleagues and encourage them to send a message to African Heads of State to Drop the Malaria Tax!

On April 25th to commemorate Africa Malaria Day, The Massive Effort Campaign is delivering 26 giant postcards to the Heads of State of each African country that has not removed the tax, to remind them of their promise at the Abuja Declaration three years ago to Roll Back Malaria and formally request the elimination of the malaria tax.
