Something I found online and thought to share..

Malaria is a deadly mosquito-borne disease that affects millions each year in Africa and around the world:

• Nearly one million people die from malaria each year, mostly children younger than five years old.
• There are an estimated 250 million cases of malaria each year.
• Although the vast majority of malaria cases occur in sub-Saharan Africa, the disease is a public-health problem in more than 109 countries in the world, 45 of which are in Africa.
• Approximately 3.3 billion people live in areas where malaria is a constant threat.
• 90% of all malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa.
• Malaria costs an estimated $12 billion in lost productivity in Africa.
• When insecticide-treated nets are used properly by three-quarters of the people in a community, malaria transmission is cut by 50%, child deaths are cut by 20%, and the mosquito population drops by as much as 90%.
• It is estimated that less than 5% of children in sub-Saharan Africa currently sleep under any type of insecticide-treated net.

The majority of those who suffer from Malaria are Muslim.
