RSSThe MDG Inspiration Fund Campaign
Promoting health, fighting disease, saving lives.
The
Focused specifically on achieving MDGs 4, 5 and 6, the money raised through the Fund is being used to implement programs to fight malaria and other preventable diseases in Africa and Asia, and provide basic health care, health education and sanitation systems in Latin America and the Caribbean.
With just a few simple interventions, we help to save millions of lives:
-
Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets provide protection from malaria — a preventable illness that kills 1 million people every year.
-
Basic sanitation systems and wells eliminate water-borne diseases that claim the lives of 4,000 children every day.
-
Smokeless stoves reduce acute respiratory infections and chronic respiratory disease — the leading cause of death in children under 5 in Latin America.
-
Knowledge about HIV/AIDS prevents the spread of the disease, which has now killed 25 million people and left 15 million orphans.

Although the official Millennium Development Goals Inspiration Fund Campaign has drawn to a close, you can still continue to support Episcopal Relief & Development’s work to achieve the MDGs by making a donation to our Area of Greatest Need fund. Each of our focus areas and all of our programs work to achieve one or more of the MDGs. The Area of Greatest Need fund enables us to address the MDGs as part of our mission to fight poverty and disease worldwide.
