Malaria Awareness Day In 2021 there were 247 million cases of malaria worldwide, an increase of 14 million from 2019. Global deaths from malaria in the last three years were; 2021-619,00, 2020-625,000 & 2019-568,000, 77% of these deaths are children under the age of five years, which means that on average somewhere in the world one child dies of malaria every 2 minutes. I am asking District clubs to give consideration to, either holding an event to raise the awareness of malaria or making a donation to Rotarians Against Malaria. If any clubs would like more information please feel free to contact me. Noel Howard
