Global Health Forum is extremely excited to have partnered with Global Minimum (GMin), a student organization dedicated to the transparent distribution of long lasting insecticide treated bednets (LLINs) in Sierra Leone, West Africa. GMin is a student organization with similar goals as those of GHF’s Minus Malaria Initiative (MMI). Our partnership with them is a sublime example of what MMI is all about—bringing together students dedicated to addressing the burden of malaria and their distinct resources to create a concerted effort to eradicate malaria. While we specialize in raising awareness about malaria and funds for bednets, they specialize in distributing bednets to local communities. The money collected this past year for bednets by MMI fundraising has been used to purchase, through the intermediary of AgainstMalaria, LLINs—the best kind of bednets—that GMin is distributing this summer in Sierra Leone. Learn more about GMin at www.gmin.org. Here updates about their distribution at gmin.org/blog.
