Where we operate
Malaria is present in many regions of the world, with the greatest burden in sub-Saharan Africa.
This area is where around 95% of all malaria-related deaths occur, and where domestic resources are least available to fight the disease.
Target Malaria’s work focuses only on the mosquitoes that are the primary vector for malaria in this region. We are currently actively working in Burkina Faso, Ghana and Uganda.
