Wednesday, 27 May 2009 Sarah Kline visiting Ghana in March 2009 Football and malaria.
On the surface, there are no obvious commonalities, yet both affect millions of lives worldwide. Football captivates and connects mass audiences across the globe while malaria is one of the world’s most deadly diseases, threatening half the world’s population and claiming almost a million lives every year.
If we are to defeat malaria, we need a global movement to do so and by harnessing football, we can dramatically scale up our potential audience and impact.
