Show 464 The World Vision Report: Malaria remains one of the world's great killers. Every thirty seconds, a child under five dies from malaria. That contributes to more than a million deaths a year. Two million people a year suffer from the disease, which hampers economic advancement in affected countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. To mark World Malaria Day on April 25, the World Vision Report focuses this week entirely on malaria -- its history, causes, treatments, and the campaign to wipe out the disease by the year 2015.
