The Road Ahead
No one can foresee the duration or severity of COVID’s human and economic toll. But the malaria global health community agrees it will be disastrous to neglect or under invest in malaria during this period, and thereby squander a decade of hard won progress. By some estimates, halting malaria intervention efforts could trigger a return to one million malaria deaths per year, a devastating mortality rate unseen since 2004.
To that end many of our efforts last year were to strategically advocate for continued global malaria funding, as well as supporting COVID adjustments to ensure malaria projects were not delayed. Last year we supplied Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to over 700 Rotary-funded community health workers (CHWs) in Uganda and Zambia; altered CHW training to incorporate appropriate social distancing; conducted several webinars specifically focused on maintaining malaria financial support despite COVID; and we provided $50,000 to the Alliance for Malaria Prevention used for COVID/malaria public education in Africa.
While our near-term work must accommodate pandemic restrictions, we are still firmly committed to our mission, “to generate a broad international Rotary campaign for the global elimination of malaria.” During the coming twelve months we intend to:
- Implement a blueprint developed in 2020 for a large long-term malaria program with Rotary, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and World Vision, in the most underserved regions of Zambia’s Central and Muchinga Provinces, positively impacting nearly 1.4 million residents.
- Leverage technology to enhance our advocacy efforts, including continuing to host webinars with world malaria thought leaders; conducting virtual malaria presentations to Rotary Clubs around the globe; expanding our social media presence and frequency; and participating in virtual Rotary conventions and conferences.
- Finish training over 1,250 CHWs in Zambia’s Copperbelt Province as part of two Rotary Global Grants, impacting over 625,000 residents in which over 40 Rotary Clubs participated.
- Continue to expand our Small Grant Incubator program to both advise and financially support malaria projects initiated by Rotary clubs based in Uganda, Zambia, Ghana, Mozambique, the Gambia, Zimbabwe among others.
- Build upon working relationships with the world’s foremost malaria elimination organizations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Vision, the President’s Malaria Initiative, Global Fund, UNICEF, Alliance for Malaria Prevention, UN Foundation, RAM-Global, and Pilgrim Africa.
- And finally, broadly communicate our new organizational name, Malaria Partners International, and by so doing promote broader malaria related partnerships on a global scale.
Despite very real pandemic challenges, we believe the coming year will be one of dramatic progress for Malaria Partners International and our efforts toward malaria elimination.

Jeffrey Pritchard
Board Chair

Did you know?
2500$ could equip and train two Community Health Workers and provide them with enough Rapid Diagnostic Tests to serve 1000 people? That's 2.50$ per person.Dear Friends,
I cannot imagine a more exciting, challenging, and inspiring time to join Malaria Partners International as Executive Director. Since I became part of the team in August 2020, life has been a whirlwind. In this letter, I’ll share a few observations on how Malaria Partners International has advanced its mission and positively impacted lives this year.
Partnerships:
Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
Rotary members know this all too well. In 1985, when Rotary took on polio, tens of thousands of children were stricken every year and many died. In August, after 35 years of concentrated effort by everyday Rotary members, Africa was declared free of the wild poliovirus! We are committed to directing that same kind of energy toward eliminating malaria. To that end, we work hand-in-hand with Rotary and global health organizations around the world in the fight against malaria.
Outreach and Advocacy:
In March, when it became apparent that COVID would significantly impact our ability to speak in person at Rotary meetings and district conferences, the board made a strategic decision to shift its advocacy strategy. We launched a webinar series that features world renown malaria thought leaders including, among others, Dr. Philip Welkhoff, Director for Malaria at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund, Dr. Keziah Malm, Program Manager of the Ghana National Malaria Control Program, and Dr. Kenneth Staley, Global Malaria Coordinator with the President’s Malaria Initiative.
Our board members also adapted their club and conference presentations to an online format, reaching 35 Rotary clubs in the last year. But we are not stopping there! In 2021, we will host nine webinars and continue expanding outreach to Rotary clubs across the globe with the powerful message that malaria can be eliminated.
Community Health Worker Training:
Malaria has killed more people than any disease in human history. Today, 94% of all malaria cases occur in Sub-Saharan Africa where pregnant women and young children remain at the highest risk. The best way to eliminate malaria is to deal with it at the household level by deploying trained and equipped Community Health Workers (CHWs) in their home villages to educate, test, and treat residents.
In the last year, Malaria Partners International and its Rotary club partners launched two CHW training programs in Zambia that trained and equipped hundreds of CHWs who are now providing care in their communities. Later this year, with support from The Rotary Foundation, we will launch a third program together with our partners, to train an additional 1,055 Zambian CHWs.
My time with Malaria Partners International reminds me daily that 1.2 million Rotary members, united in Service Above Self, can create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities and in ourselves.

Jenny Andrews
Executive Director
Malaria Partners International is delighted to announce that Jenny Andrews has joined as Executive Director. A long-time Rotary member and past President of the Bellevue Breakfast RC, Jenny combines extensive non-profit development leadership with private sector entrepreneurial experience.
Before joining Malaria Partners International, Jenny served as the Director of Global Engagement & Philanthropic Partnerships at PATH, Director of Community Partnerships with Overlake Hospital, and led a website hosting software firm for healthcare organizations.
Jenny holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration with an undergraduate degree in Biological Science Education.
With Jenny’s leadership, Malaria Partners International will ignite an international Rotary campaign for the global eradication of malaria.

New Name, Same Fight.
Eleven years ago Malaria Partners International was founded by Rotary members with a focus on advocacy within the Rotary community, and on the development of projects and large-scale malaria prevention programs. We believe that success will only come through empowering the communities most affected by malaria with the tools and knowledge needed to fight back.
November 20th, 2020 marked the next step in our journey to eradicate malaria as we become Malaria Partners International.
Advocacy
We advocate for malaria elimination through presentations at Rotary clubs in the U.S. and Africa, and attendance at Rotary and global health conferences. We also produce educational and motivational webinars and share news on the fight against malaria in our newsletter and content on social media.
COVID-19 has restricted our travel but not our advocacy or mission.
Board members presented at over 35 Rotary clubs throughout the U.S. as well as numerous clubs in Uganda, Zambia and other African countries. Many new clubs have joined us to support malaria elimination global grants in the Zambian Copperbelt and projects elsewhere in Africa. Since March 2020, we have pivoted to virtual presentations which has allowed us to reach even more Rotary clubs across the U.S.
We also participated in numerous international malaria advocacy events to increase both malaria’s visibility and to generate support for malaria prevention and treatment.

Projects
We are passionate Rotary members, dedicated to major projects in endemic malaria zones that are intended to be scalable and sustainable.
Completed
Weija Club West, Accra, Ghana, Small Grant
The Weija Rotary Club was awarded a grant to work with community volunteers, a local Rotaract club, and local government officials for an indoor residual spraying project in Tuba, a community located on the outskirts of the capital, Accra. At the end of March, due to COVID, all gatherings were prohibited. Serendipitously, at the end of April, restrictions were lifted slightly and the spraying took place on April 25, World Malaria Day.
The success of the project has sparked interest among other Rotary Clubs in Ghana. Weija Rotary has begun a campaign to involve other Rotary clubs, creating a pamphlet, distributing it in person in some cases and online. The District Governor of Rotary District 9102 has endorsed the initiative and launched a country-wide invitation to Rotary Clubs to join in fighting malaria. Weija Rotary is working with the Malaria Director for Ghana Health Services to develop a Global Grant proposal to train Community Health Workers for 2021.
Copperbelt Zambia Malaria Elimination Project, Phase I
Malaria Partners International, Rotarian Malaria Partners Zambia (RMPZ), and local Copperbelt Rotary Clubs are participating with the Zambian National Malaria Elimination Centre (NMEC) in its objective of eliminating malaria through launching a series of projects in the Copperbelt Province to train and equip Community Health Care Workers (CHWs) to detect, treat, and prevent malaria.
Phase I is a Rotary Global Grant that has trained 301 CHWs from the Masaiti and Mpongwe Districts, using the National Malaria Elimination Centre’s training curriculum. The training sessions, which concluded in October, 2019, were provided by nationally certified facilitators working closely with the Rotary Club of Ndola Mukuba and district health offices. The Rotary Club of Federal Way, Washington, is the International Partner.
The CHWs received medical supplies, cell phones and bicycles under the grant. The cell phones allow them to report regularly to the District Health Offices and the bicycles improve access to widely geographically dispersed communities. RMPZ was able to source personal protective equipment (PPE) locally in Zambia as COVID-19 escalated. The PPE ensures CHWs were protected and able to serve the community without interruption.

Global Grant
In Phase II, 210 community-based Village Health Team trained workers (VHTs) move from household-to-household each week to rapidly detect and treat any new malaria infections.
In May, 2020, Malaria Partners International helped arrange for a large shipment of personal protective equipment to ensure VHTs in Katakwi, located in eastern Uganda, as well as local health authorities, were well protected from COVID-19. They continue the critical work of community surveillance for cases of malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia – the three greatest killers of young children in sub-Sahara Africa.
The Rotary Club of Soroti is the local host club and has been deeply engaged in all aspects of project oversight, including community education to promote malaria prevention behaviors.

Copperbelt Province, Zambia Malaria Elimination, Phase 1A
Phase 1A is a Rotary Global Grant to train and equip 200 CHWs in the Chililabombwe District of the Copperbelt Province. The project follows the same structure as Phase 1 with the RMPZ and area clubs working with facilitators and the District Health office.
Training sessions began in August, 2020 and CHWs are now deployed in the community. The Rotary Club of Kitwe is the host club and the Rotary Club of Aspen, Colorado is the International Partner.

Copperbelt Zambia Malaria Elimination, Phase II
A Phase II proposal was approved by The Rotary Foundation in September, 2020. This proposal is a $1 million Global Grant project to equip, train, and deploy 1,055 Community Health Workers in three districts of the Copperbelt, benefiting nearly 550,000 residents. As in other districts, CHWs will diagnose and treat malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia, supported by a Rotary member-led public education campaign.
Small Grants Program
Malaria Partners International has made recent awards to a number of malaria control projects. These include the following:
Market Vendors Malaria Control Project, Uganda
In cooperation with the Rotary Club of Mbale, Uganda, will distribute malaria prevention information in the Mbale marketplace.
Mosquito Vector Control Project, the Gambia
In cooperation with Rotary Club of Banjul, will provide nightly fogging of mosquito infested areas of Banjul, the country’s capital.
Urban Malaria Control Project, Uganda
In Mulimira Zone, Kampala with Rotary Club of Bukoto, aimed at community sensitization and urban slum clean-up to rid sources of mosquito infestation.
Malaria Control Project, Phase II, Uganda
In cooperation with Rotary Club of Arua, will train and equip Village Health Workers deployed to two parishes in the refugee border area for detection and treatment of malaria.
Rotarian Malaria Partners Uganda
In Memoriam
Dr. Joel Okalaney
Rotarian Malaria Partners Uganda (RMPU) marked its first anniversary in June, 2020, a year that included the challenges of an upsurge in malaria in the capital city, Kampala, and the loss of RMPU’s Founding Member and first Board Chairman, Dr. Joel Okalany, to a long standing illness, on July 1, 2020.
Dr. Okalany served as President of the Rotary Club of Soroti Central during the 2017-2018 year. In his capacity as President-elect and then President of RC Soroti, he took on the responsibility of serving as local host club advocate for the Katakwi Rotary Malaria Project, a global grant of the Rotary Foundation.
He provided immense support in the design, administration, and execution of that global grant and a subsequent second-phase project, over a four-year period. The success of these projects owes much to his personal hands-on visitations, advocacy and oversight in the Katakwi District communities.
He was passionate in both advocacy and oratory and had an immense ability to connect at all levels whether handing out bednets to school children or working together with health officials.
Dr. Joel, as he was known to his many Rotary colleagues and friends, will be sorely missed in the fight to eradicate malaria in Uganda.

RMPU Update
Rotarian Malaria Partners Uganda (RMPU) started its operations on 1st July 2019 with a Board of Directors and Secretariat consisting of a committed group of Rotary Members and professionals tasked with collectively championing viable solutions for a Malaria-free Uganda. As a nascent organization, RMPU drew exceptional strength over the past year from rallying Rotary Members and Uganda’s Ministry of Health (MOH) towards changing the Malaria prevalence and incidence landscape.
In August 2019, the country’s Ministry of Health announced an upsurge in Malaria across the country. Anemia caused by Malaria, especially in young children under 5, created the single biggest up-take of blood from the national blood bank (30%), rising to 65% in malaria endemic districts in Northern and Eastern Uganda. RMPU, in partnership with Uganda Blood Transfusion Services (UBTS), rallied the top 100 tax payers in the country to have their staff donate blood, provide financial support towards the blood collection services, donate branded items as an incentive for donors across the country and commit to regularly (per quarter) donating blood. The project was launched on 27th August 2019 with a press conference at the MoH headquarters. UBTS was able to meet its target of 25,000 litres of blood by end of September 2019.
This past year has seen increased involvement of Rotary clubs through RMPU’s efforts in the National Malaria Control Division (NMCD) programs such as long-lasting insecticide treated bednets (LLIN) distribution and malaria prevention sensitization. Before COVID-19 enforced countrywide lockdown, the RMPU Board visited the Arua Malaria Project, funded by a small grant from Malaria Partners International, and the Katakwi Rotary Malaria Project, funded by a Rotary International Global Grant. RMPU successfully rallied Ugandan Rotary clubs to carry out needs assessments and apply for small grants from Malaria Partners International to fund malaria prevention and control programs. Several grants were approved in August, 2020 with more applicants under review.

RMPU instituted a one-month massive media campaign on social media platforms (in English) and radio (in both English and local languages) dubbed “Mosquitoes are not on Quarantine”. The public was informed of five key preventative measures:

Sleep under a treated mosquito net.

Clear bushes and stagnant water around houses.

Test for Malaria once one sees signs or symptoms – do not self medicate.

Complete malaria medication as prescribed.

Pregnant mothers take anti-malaria medication.
Rotarian Malaria Partners Zambia
The Hon. Minister of Health Dr. Chitalu Chilufya MP. placed the “Elimination of Malaria” as the number two Legacy Goal after “Reduction of Maternal and Child Mortality” in his address at the launch of the National Health Strategic Plan at the Ministry of Health Headquarters in Lusaka. The third Legacy Goal is the “Recruitment of 30,000 Health Care Workers.”
RMPZ is a committed partner in the fight to eliminate malaria. The organization collaborates with the National Malaria Control Centre, and many local and international partners with particular focus on elimination of malaria in the Copperbelt.
RMPZ is instrumental in the oversight and implementation of several Rotary global grants in the Copperbelt. The global grants focus on training of Community Health Workers (CHWs) to be deployed household-by-household in their communities. The CHWs monitor, test, and treat malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia. These training grants also include equipment for the CHWs—bicycles, cellphones, test kits, and anti-malarial medications.
A Phase I global grant trained 301 CHWs who completed training in October, 2019. This project was spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Ndola Mukuba, as local host club, and the Rotary Club of Federal Way, as International Club sponsor. Other partners included Malaria Partners International, the Government of Zambia through the National Malaria Elimination Council, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

A large closing ceremony and celebration was held in Ndola, attended by all Rotary clubs in the Copperbelt and a delegation from the U.S.
The Phase IA global grant officially launched on the 17th of August to train 200 CHWs in Chililabombwe District in the Copperbelt. The Rotary Club of Kitwe is the host club and the Rotary Club of Aspen is the international club.
The Phase II global grant was approved by the Rotary Foundation in September, 2020, to train 1,055 CHWs in Kalulushi, Mufulira, and Luanshya Districts. The Rotary Club of Mufulira, is the host club, and the Rotary Club of Seattle is the international club.
RMPZ has been actively engaged in activities to raise awareness of malaria and mobilize resources towards treatment and prevention. RMPZ presented at the District 9210 Conference in Mangochi, Malawi, which coincided with World Malaria Day. The goal was to engage Rotary District 9210 leadership in the malaria elimination fights and projects taking place in the Copperbelt. RMPZ delegates also traveled to the Rotary International Convention in Hamburg, Germany and staffed a House of Friendship booth, providing information on the Copperbelt projects to Rotary visitors.
Our Impact This Year
Rotary Facilitated Grants
We are proud that a majority of our grantmaking and fundraising is done in conjunction with Rotary Clubs, Districts, and the Rotary Foundation. Uniting Rotary with projects and large-scale programs in regions where malaria is most prevalent is key to its elimination.
We have illustrated grants faciliated by Malaria Partners International for 2020 in the chart below as these partnerships are not reflected in our traditional grantmaking and fundraising statistics.

Fogging Equipment
$20,575

Train and equip 200 Community Health Workers to test and treat malaria for 125,000 residents in the Chililabombwe District of Zambia.
Copperbelt 1
$259,500
Train and equip 301 Community Health Workers to test and treat malaria for 250,000 residents in the Maisaiti and Mpongwe Districts of Zambia.
Copperbelt 2
$997,229
Train and equip 1,055 Community Health Workers to test and treat malaria for 550,000 residents in the Mufulira, Luanshya, and Kalulushi Districts of Zambia.
In addition to our very large but indirect role in the development of and fundraising for global grants (as seen above), Malaria Partners International conducts direct fundraising to support ongoing advocacy, operations, field projects, and both large and small grants to Rotary Clubs.
Our plans for a fourth annual fundraiser in March 2020 were cancelled as the COVID-19 outbreak accelerated in Washington State. Through the generosity of our long-standing loyal donors we were able to match the funds raised in 2019. We are deeply appreciative of these contributions, gifted at a challenging time for many, that allow us to make an ongoing significant contribution to malaria elimination.
Malaria Partners International continues to receive the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.Funds from the Foundation support advocacy, organizational growth, Rotary global grants, and small grants. It also allows us to support the critical work of our colleagues at RMP Uganda and RMP Zambia.

$750,000 Available for Malaria Matching
In late-2019, Malaria Partners International was awarded a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, totaling up to $750,000. This grant allows us to provide dollar-for-dollar matching for malaria-related projects financially supported by Rotary Clubs, Districts, and Rotary membership organizations.
The Rotary malaria matching initiative builds on comments by Philip Welkhoff, Director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s malaria program, at the Rotary Large Club Conference in Long Beach, CA in early 2019. “Rotary Members can make a big difference in the quest to end malaria. That’s evident from your extraordinary work to end polio.”
Combined with support from The Rotary Foundation, during 2019/2020, the matching program turned every $1 Rotary Club malaria contribution into as much as $6 – providing real philanthropic leverage. To date, we have disbursed over $105,000.
