Pilgrim's "Move On Malaria" Project Dramatically Reduced Malaria in Uganda Pilot Project

Malaria is a preventable and curable disease. Yet almost 250-million people currently have the disease. In 2006, almost 1-million people died from the disease – most of them children. In fact, a child dies of malaria every 30 seconds somewhere in the world. That’s why Pilgrim, a Christian relief organization with its U.S. headquarters based in Seattle, rolled out its Move on Malaria (MoM). Move on Malaria is a comprehensive malaria control program conceived in the wake of massive flooding in the Teso sub region of Uganda in late 2007.
