Projects
Malaria Partners International (MPI), supports a variety of projects that each tackle malaria elimination projects in endemic areas–and we are always adding more. These projects vary in size and scale: some are achieved through Rotary Global Grants and many through our own small grants program, as well as Rotary’s first Program of Scale: Partners for a Malaria-Free Zambia (PMFZ).
