Thank you World Health Day Challenge Supporters! By supporting CPAR’s Donate a Day for Africa event you have helped change lives in rural Africa. So far we have raised more than $92,000 and this number is still growing! Later in the year, we will be in touch with participants in order to provide them with a project update. Learn About the Need - Why Should You Donate a Day for Africa? How does your donation make a difference? One of CPAR's programs that participants supported in 2009 was the construction of rainwater harvesting tanks, handwashing stands and Ventilated Improved Pit Latrines at Haraa Primary School. Hundreds of students and teachers now have access to clean and safe water and adequate sanitation. Watch the video below to see how donating a day for Africa can change lives. In 2010, we want to make a real difference in Africa by fighting malaria in rural Malawi. We want to reduce malaria-related deaths among children under five years of age, pregnant women, and people living with HIV & AIDS. This year, we want to deliver 1400 treated bed nets to pregnant women and children under five in rural Malawi and an additional 200 bed nets to people living with HIV & AIDS. CPAR will also work with the local government and health officials to implement innovative malaria education programs focused on prevention and control. Join the movement.
