Why World Malaria Day?

Quick Facts on Malaria:

World Malaria Day:

Established by President George W. Bush in 2007, April 25 is designated National Malaria Awareness Day. Compassion International is ministering to thousands who live in areas where malaria is rampant, often infecting children who die of a preventable disease.
