Microfinance Against Malaria: Pan-African Malaria Conference Presentation

This is a powerpoint presentation on Microfinance Against Malaria presented at the Pan-African Malaria Conference. The goal of the Microfinance Against Malaria project is to develop and disseminate a malaria curriculum reaching 500,000 community members in the first 3 years to improve prevention, early detection and appropriate treatment of malaria and stimulate customer demand for better malaria prevention and treatment services from private and public providers. Microfinance can be used as a vehicle for public health promotion. The West-African partnership is a joint effort between 5 Credit Union Federations and 10 Rural Banks. Together with these organizations, Freedom from Hunger hopes to increase awareness, detection, and especially prevention of malaria to better the lives of the population. Included in the presentation is a Ghana Impact Study and implementation of Credit with Education there.
