The Next President Could Save A Million Lives A Year

Check out this blog from another campaign the UN Foundation is doing to involve citizens in the Presidential elections. Here you too can submit your ideas on how he or she can improve American’s image in the world, starting On Day One – post your ideas on malaria and more!

John Boonstra writes, “The trick, of course, is convincing would-be presidents that combating malaria in Africa is a pressing goal for their administration. Aid, as Kristof admits, can be "devilishly difficult," but, done right, it can both improve America's standing in the world and save valuable lives.

Tell the candidates that fighting malaria must be an important item on their presidential agenda, and, while you're at it, check out On Day One's sister organization, Nothing But Nets, for a simple and cost-effective way to save even more lives threatened by malaria.”
