The goal is to expand access to anti-malarial drugs and preventions such as bed nets treated with chemicals that kill mosquitoes.  Those insects spread the organism that causes an estimated five hundred million cases of malaria each year.  Most are in southern Africa.  The disease is getting more difficult to fight as the organism develops resistance to traditional treatments.
