Today in Africa, many children get sick with malaria and can¹t afford the
medicines they need to treat it. Many of these children will die nearly
3,000 a day according to the World Health Organization. Many lives could be
saved there and there are ways to prevent malaria and effective treatments
for those who become infected.
