Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and Lutheran World Relief are working together to raise the money by 2013. The United Nations Foundation is also part of the effort.
So far, $1.3 million has been raised.

FENTON > High water delays bridge work — Elevated water has delayed the Old 141 and Fenton Creek Bridge project.

WHAT: Lutheran World Relief, The Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod and the United Nations Foundation will host a joint news conference to announce an unprecedented partnership and discuss the role of churches and other faith-based organizations in fighting malaria in Africa.
WHEN: 10 a.m. Monday, June 27, 2011
WHERE: Historic Trinity Lutheran Church, 1345 Gratiot Avenue, Detroit
WHO: Distinguished speakers will include:
Rev. John Nunes, President and CEO, Lutheran World Relief, and co-author, Little Things Make Big Differences: A Story About Malaria Caroline van der Veen, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and MalariaSpeakers will be available for interviews following the news conference.
WHY: Malaria, a preventable and treatable disease, continues to devastate communities and perpetuate a cycle of poverty. According to the World Health Organization, nearly a million people die of malaria each year and every 45 seconds a child dies in Africa. In many communities where Lutheran World Relief (LWR) and The Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod (LCMS) work, extreme poverty creates conditions that allow malaria to take hold and spread with deadly consequence.
The Lutheran Malaria Initiative, a partnership of Lutheran World Relief (LWR) and The Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod (LCMS) and made possible through support from the United Nations Foundation (UNF), aims to mobilize Lutherans in the United States to help end malaria deaths in Africa by 2015. Both LWR and the LCMS have a long history of working to alleviate suffering and reduce poverty in rural communities around the world, and through the Lutheran Malaria Initiative, we can leverage the reach and power of the Lutheran network to make a significant impact through education, prevention and treatment of this devastating disease.
BACKGROUND: Rev. John Nunes, president and CEO of Lutheran World Relief, has also been a parish pastor and community organizer in Detroit. With his wife Monique, he co-authored the book Little Things Make Big Differences: A Story About Malaria (Concordia Publishing House), to educate children in the U.S. about what they can do to help protect children in Africa from this deadly disease.
