About
MPZim's mission to ignite a global Rotarian campaign for the eradication of malaria.
Malaria Partners Zimbabwe (MPZim) was set up after the realisation that the rising malaria cases in the country needed urgent intervention. In that regard Rotarians in Zimbabwe joined hands so that they become part of the Malaria elimination force.
MPZim’s board is chaired by Rotarian Sam Chikowore and composed of Rotarians from different Rotary Clubs around the country who bring their diverse skills and passion. MPZim is an affiliate of MPI and seeks to collaborate with partners and all stakeholders who share the common goal of malaria elimination. MPZim’s objective is to see Zimbabwe declared totally Malaria free from within and across all the frontiers surrounding the country.
Zimbabwe is a member of the Elimination 8 (E8) in which countries have collaborated to reduce the burden of malaria in Africa.
The first target area for MPZim is Mudzi District in Mashonaland East Province of Zimbabwe where we are working in partnership with The Methodist Church In Zimbabwe in a project which involves engaging Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs) and other strategic partners in changing behaviour and attitudes towards malaria elimination interventions.
We look forward to MPZim covering more areas of operation in the near future and The Rotary Club network in the country will serve as a necessary convenience to spread the message advocacy towards elimination of malaria.
