FutureVitals is collecting malaria prevention resources and educational materials for communities in Nigeria, combining practical protection with something just as important, understanding how the disease spreads and how it can be prevented.
Why Malaria Prevention Matters
Malaria remains an enormous public health challenge in Nigeria. In 2023, Nigeria accounted for an estimated 25.9% of malaria cases worldwide and 30.9% of global malaria deaths. Even more striking, Nigeria accounted for 39.3% of malaria deaths among children under five globally.
Nigeria’s share of the global total, 2023.
Malaria is preventable, which makes access to reliable health information and effective prevention measures especially important. WHO identifies young children and pregnant women among those disproportionately affected by the disease.
900+ Resources and Counting
Our drive goes beyond simply collecting supplies. FutureVitals is bringing together disease-awareness pamphlets and mosquito-prevention resources, including bug spray and mosquito-repellent stickers, to help provide families with both information and practical tools.
The educational materials focus on malaria transmission, recognizing risk, mosquito-bite prevention, and when to seek medical care.
From Collection to Community
The 900+ items collected so far will be prepared and shipped to Nigeria in November 2026.
