2025 Round up and update - Thank you for your support!

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:50:00 GMT

As 2025 draws to a close we would like to thank all who have supported and worked with AMF this year as without donors, distribution partners, volunteers and pro bono supporters we would not be able to do what we do in contributing to the fight against malaria. Thank you!

Distributions update

We are drawing to the end of a twelve-month period during which 21 million nets have been distributed in nine distributions across two countries - Guinea and the Democratic Republic of Congo - to protect 38 million people.

We work with many distribution partners and other independent monitoring partners, all of whom have done a wonderful job this year and we thank them for their partnership.

In addition, we are carrying out, with other partners, post-distribution monitoring activities to assess net presence, use and condition, in all the countries in which we have previously distributed nets.

2026 and beyond will be busy years with 72 million nets already committed in 2026 to protect a further 130 million people. We expect to be able to make an announcement soon regarding additional 2026 and 2027 distributions.

Impact

The impact of the 21 million nets distributed is expected to be, ± 20%, 12,000 deaths prevented, 9 million cases of malaria averted and a US$1.0 billion improvement in local economies (12x the funds applied). When people are ill they cannot farm, drive, teach - function, so the improvement in health leads to economic as well as humanitarian benefits.

This is a terrific contribution from the tens of thousands of donors who have made donations, and the many partners with whom we work that make possible the distribution of these life-saving nets.

Once all the nets we have funded in our 20 years, and can currently fund, have been distributed and have had their impact, the overall impact is expected to be: 350 million nets funded and distributed, 630 million people protected, 270,000 deaths prevented, 200 to 270 million cases of malaria averted and US$9.5 billion of improvement in local economies (GDP).

Future distributions

Many recognise the impact of AMF's work, yet we still have significant immediate funding gaps that are close to US$300m. While this number seems daunting, every US$2 matters as that funds another net and allows two more people to be protected when they sleep at night, so no support is too small or inconsequential.

1,470,000^th donations so far and over US$788 million raised!

We are thrilled to have passed these totals, with most donations ranging from a few $, £, €, CAN$, NZ$, AUS$, bitcoin and more - to many thousands.

We are so grateful for your support. Thank you!

Tax-Deductibility

We now have tax-deductible status in 14 countries.

UK, US, Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea, Sweden and Switzerland.

We continue to assess the need for tax-deductible status in other countries.

AMF top ranked!

AMF has again been top-ranked by the leading organisations 'dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities'.

GiveWell has ranked AMF a top charity for all of the last 18 years (since 2009). GiveWell has been a strong supporter of AMF's work and we thank their team for their continuous and thorough assessment of what we do.
The Life You Can Save has AMF as a top-ranked charity for the fifteenth year in a row. TLYCS and their team has equally been a stalwart supporter and their work and recommendations have led to tens of thousands of lives being saved.
Giving What We Can have similarly continuously top-ranked AMF over its history.

First-time recurring donation?

If you are considering a single donation to AMF, might the offer to match a recurring donation interest you in making your donation recurring?

A very generous £350,000 (US$470,000) match fund will match 100% of the first six months of any new recurring donation - providing the donor has not previously made a recurring donation to AMF.

A suggestion for the Christmas/Holiday season!

Donate nets instead of gifts.

We send the recipient/s an email (on a date you choose e.g. 25th Dec) with your personal message and a link to their 'gift page', allowing them to follow the progress of their nets.

May we wish you a very happy and healthy 2026!

Accounts for FY to 30 June 2025 (unaudited) now available

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 15:00:00 GMT

Our Financial Year has just ended and, as part of our commitment to efficiency, our annual accounts have been generated and are available to view on our Easier-To-Understand (ETU) accounts page.

The audit of the accounts has started and we expect that to be completed in the coming days.

We are able to show our pre-audit numbers within a few hours of the end of our financial year due to the level of automation of our financial systems which brings a number of benefits:

Accurate management information - On any aspect of our finances at any time
Improved transparency - For management, governance and audit purposes
Improved efficiency - Minimal administrative input to prepare the accounts at year end (data is entered most working days during the year)
Swift production of our annual accounts - Within 24 hours of the FY end i.e. once the closing balances on our accounts are known the next day
Assisting our auditors - Swift availability of our draft annual accounts to give our auditors maximum flexibility in scheduling their work
Keeping stakeholders up to date – Providing donors, trustees and other stakeholders timely information on our financial status and performance

A further benefit is that we provide 'real-time' financials on our 'Easier-To-Understand' section of our financial information and our year-to-date (YTD) FY2026 financials are already live.

US$750,000,000 raised!

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 15:00:00 GMT

We are delighted to share the news that we have just gone past the milestone of US$750,000,000 raised since AMF began.

It is thanks to 1,392,451 donations from 228,381 people in 199 countries that we have passed this total. Our thanks to so many people who so generously care about the fight against malaria.

Other numbers, in increasing order of importance, are: 340,323,131 nets funded (or will be) to protect 612 million people in 40 countries leading to, once all nets funded are distributed and have had their impact, an improvement in local economies of US$9 billion, 200 to 250 million cases of malaria averted and an estimated 255,000 deaths prevented.

A very generous donation of £20,000 from JL in the UK was the specific donation that took us past this total. The significant recent grant from GiveWell played a huge part in reaching this total. AMF has been a top charity at GiveWell for all of the last 16 years and is the only charity to have been so ranked continuously over this period, reflecting our commitment to our guiding principles of impact, accountability, transparency and efficiency.

Thank you to all who have donated so far, to all those who have provided pro bono support to AMF as well as to our many partners in the field who work so hard to bring about change.

We are so grateful to everyone.

With funding gaps that exist, AMF's commitment to fighting malaria is as strong as ever and the need to fight this disease is urgent. Every $2 donation matters as much as ever, as each net matters to the two people it protects.

From all of us at AMF – thank you!

AMF agrees to fund 4.7 million nets for distribution in Zambia in 2026

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 12:15:00 GMT

Caveat: The net distribution described below has been planned and agreed on the basis that country accesses shipping and distribution costs previously committed to by USAID’s President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). The recent changes at USAID and PMI have created doubts about how exactly these distributions will proceed - if, in what form and when. We are working with all valued and important partners, particularly PMI, to resolve the uncertainty and do all we can to have nets arrive where they are needed.

AMF has agreed to fund 4.7 million nets for distribution in Zambia in 2026.

We are pleased to share publicly news of this funding commitment which was approved by AMF at the end of last year. Signatures will be put in place when final clarity is achieved on shipping and distribution costs.

The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across four provinces to protect 8.5 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

The four provinces that are planned to receive nets are: Luapula (1.3 million nets), Northern (1.3m), North-Western (1.0m), and Western (1.1m).

Zambia is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.

These nets can be expected to prevent around 2,500 deaths, avert more than 2 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Zambia. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD100 million.

Half of these prevented deaths and cases of illness can be ascribed to the funds AMF is allocating, as an equivalent level of funding is being contributed by PMI to cover non-net costs.

We are about to allocate individual donations to these specific distributions and many donations, large and small, will fund these nets.

The distributions will be implemented by the NMEP (National Malaria Elimination Programme), with whom AMF will work closely and with whom we have an agreed set of processes and a strong and open working relationship. We will report transparently on progress and performance throughout and after the distribution.

Key elements of our agreement include:

AMF is funding 4,675,350 LLINs, with distribution in 2026
This is a co-funding partnership with non-net costs (shipping, pre-distribution, distribution) funded by PMI
To support accurate data gathering, verification of net need numbers will take place by re-visiting a material number of households chosen at random
Household-level data will be collected using electronic-devices and then transferred into AMF's Data Entry System (DES) for analysis and verification. This, and the above elements combined, are the basis for a highly accountable distribution.
Post-distribution monitoring of net use and condition (PDMs) will take place every nine months for two and a half years in all districts. AMF will fund this.

Further information is available via AMF’s distributions listing (lands on a page that filters for Zambia distributions only)

AMF agrees to fund 19.1 million nets for distribution in Nigeria in 2026 and early 2027

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 13:30:00 GMT

Caveat: The net distributions described below have been planned and agreed on the basis that the country accesses shipping and distribution costs previously committed to by USAID’s President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). The recent changes at USAID and PMI have created doubts about how exactly these distributions will proceed - if, in what form and when. We are working with all valued and important partners, particularly PMI, to resolve the uncertainty and do all we can to have nets arrive where they are needed.

AMF has agreed to fund 19.1 million nets for distribution in Nigeria in 2026 and early 2027.

With final signatures now in place, we are pleased to share publicly news of these net distributions which were approved for funding by AMF at the end of last year.

The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across all 111 health zones in five states to protect 34 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

The five states that will receive nets are: Akwa Ibom (4.0 million nets, distribution in Jan26), Kebbi (3.2m, Jan26), Bauchi (4.9m, May26), Benue (4.2m, Dec26) and Plateau (2.8m, Apr27).

The distribution months are those currently expected. There is a possibility of slippage or intentional adjustments to timing.

Nigeria is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.

These nets can be expected to prevent around 10,000 deaths, avert more than 7 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Nigeria. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD500 million.

Half of these prevented deaths and cases of illness can be ascribed to the funds AMF is allocating, as an equivalent level of funding is being contributed by PMI to cover non-net costs.

We are about to allocate individual donations to these specific distributions and many donations, large and small, will fund these nets.

Nets are being ordered now to meet timelines for the distributions that are scheduled to take place from January 2026 to April 2027.

Key elements of our agreement include:

AMF is funding 19,100,000 LLINs, with distribution in 2026 and early 2027
This is a co-funding partnership with non-net costs (shipping, pre-distribution, distribution) funded by PMI
To support accurate data gathering, verification of net need numbers will take place by re-visiting a material number of households chosen at random

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 12:30:00 GMT

AMF has agreed to fund 28.9 million nets for distribution in DRC in late 2025 and 2026.

With final signatures now in place, we are pleased to share publicly news of these net distributions which were approved for funding by AMF, with co-funding from The Global Fund, at the end of last year.

The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across 214 health zones in 11 provinces to protect 52 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

The provinces that will receive nets are: Mai Ndombe (1.645 million nets, distribution in Nov25), Kasai Oriental (3.339m, Nov25), Nord Ubangi (1.186m, Jan26), Tanganyika (2.569m, Feb26), Haut Uele (1.470m, Mar26), Haut Lomami (2.993m, Mar26), Sub Ubangi (2.221m, 2.221m), Kongo Central (3.929m, Apr26), Tshopo (2.728m, Apr26), Lualaba (2.396m, Apr26) and Ituri (4.437m, Jun26).

The distribution months are those currently expected. There is a possibility of slippage or intentional adjustments to timing.

DRC is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.

These nets can be expected to prevent around 15,000 deaths, avert more than 10 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of DRC. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD760 million.

Half of these prevented deaths and cases of illness can be ascribed to the funds AMF is allocating, as an equivalent level of funding is being contributed by the Global Fund to cover non-net costs.

We are about to allocate individual donations to these specific distributions and many donations, large and small, will fund these nets.

AMF agrees to fund 8.3 million nets for distribution in Chad in 2026

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 11:50:00 GMT

AMF has agreed to fund 8.3 million nets for distribution in Chad in the first half of 2026.

With final signatures now in place, we are pleased to share publicly news of this net distribution which was approved for funding by AMF, with co-funding from The Global Fund, at the end of last year.

The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across 14 of 23 provinces to protect 15 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

Chad is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.

These nets can be expected to prevent 7,000 to 10,000 deaths, avert more than 8 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of Chad. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD250 million.

We are about to allocate individual donations to these specific distributions and many donations, large and small, will fund these nets.

Half of these prevented deaths and cases of illness can be ascribed to the funds AMF is allocating as an equivalent level of funding is being contributed by the Global Fund to cover non-net costs.

Nets are being ordered now to meet timelines for a distribution in the first half of 2026 before the rainy season.

Key elements of our agreement include:

AMF is funding 8,300,000 LLINs, with distribution in the first half of 2026

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 16:56:00 GMT

AMF has agreed to fund 9.5 million nets for distribution in South Sudan in 2026.

The nets should achieve full coverage of sleeping spaces across all 10 states and three administrative areas to protect 17 million people when they sleep at night from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

South Sudan is affected year-round by malaria and these nets have the potential to play a major part in reducing deaths and illness.

These nets can be expected to prevent 8,000 to 12,000 deaths, avert 10 million cases of malaria and make a material impact on the economy of South Sudan. It is estimated that the improvement in GDP (Gross Domestic Product), a measure of economic performance, as a result of AMF’s commitment would be about USD290 million.

Half of these prevented deaths and cases of illness can be ascribed to the funds AMF is allocating, as an equivalent level of funding is being contributed by The Global Fund to cover non-net costs.

The USAID and PMI cuts are affecting malaria programmes

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 11:30:00 GMT

The cuts at USAID, and specifically at the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), are having a material effect on malaria control activities.

The freezing of funds and cancellation of funding, contracts and programmes have created funding gaps and near-term operational challenges.

The immediate focus for AMF, co-funding partners, national health systems and other partners is on those programmes that are due to take place in the next three to nine months. The funding cancellations and uncertainties have created either doubt as to programme continuance or issues that require immediate resolution.

We will write more in the coming weeks and months as the situation becomes clearer.

In the meantime, it seems that the gaps in funding for critical malaria control programmes will increase.

It will not be surprising to hear that AMF would be very interested to hear from any individual or philanthropic group with significant funding that would be interested in supporting malaria control activities. Equally, every US$2 (and equivalent) donation matters, as is evidenced by the more than 139,000 donations received by AMF this year that are AMF’s life-blood, as each net protects two people when they sleep at night - and absolutely matters to the mum and baby or two children that sleep under it at night.

AMF continues to work hard with you for a malaria free future.

US$96.3 million grant to AMF from GiveWell cuts immediate funding gap from US$300m to US$200m

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 09:00:00 GMT

We are thrilled to have been awarded a US$96.3m grant by GiveWell, the San Francisco based nonprofit dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities.

This grant has been put to work immediately as it has allowed us to confirm funding for a series of net distributions in 2025 and 2026, all with significant funding gaps. We will publish information about these distributions shortly.

The grant will fund an estimated 44 million long-lasting insecticidal nets (final number dependent upon the final cost/net) that will protect 79 million people when they sleep at night.

In terms of impact, these nets can be expected to prevent 25,000 deaths, avert 20 million cases of malaria and improve the local economy in the region in which the nets will be distributed by an estimated US$1.1 billion (12x the donation amount). When people are ill, they cannot farm, drive, teach – function, so the improvement in health leads to economic as well as humanitarian benefits.

Importantly, this helps reduce the immediate funding gap for AMF's planned net programmes from over US$300m to about US$200m and is a fantastic boost to this work.

We continue to work hard to make sure our programmes are as effective as ever, and can see the urgent need for nets across the countries we work in. Every donation, large and small, is so important as every US$2 funds a net that protects two people and helps us close the gap. A huge donation such as the one received this week is fabulous, and our history also shows that many, more modest sized donations have been, and are, critical to achieving our malaria programmes (AMF's donations statistics).

2024 Round up and update - Thank you for your support!

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 12:00:00 GMT

As 2024 draws to a close we would like to thank all who have supported and worked with AMF this year as without donors, distribution partners, volunteers and pro bono supporters we would not be able to do what we do in contributing to the fight against malaria. Thank you!

Distributions update

We are drawing to the end of a twelve-month period during which 55 million nets will have been distributed across seven countries - Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, South Sudan, Togo, Uganda and Zambia - to protect 99 million people.

We work with many distribution partners and other independent monitoring partners, all of whom have done a wonderful job this year and we thank them for their partnership.

2025 and 2026 will be busy years with 54 million nets already committed to protect a further 97 million people. We expect to make an announcement soon regarding additional 2025 and 2026 distributions.

Impact

The impact of the 55 million nets distributed is expected to be, ± 20%, 25,000 deaths prevented, 13 million cases of malaria averted and a US$1.4 billion improvement in local economy (12x the funds applied). When people are ill they cannot farm, drive, teach – function, so the improvement in health leads to economic as well as humanitarian benefits.

This is a terrific contribution from the tens of thousands of donors who have contributed significantly over the last two years, and the many partners with whom we work that make possible the distribution of these life-saving nets.

Once all the nets we have funded in our 19 years and can currently fund have been distributed and have had their impact, the overall impact is expected to be: 283 million nets funded and distributed, 450 million people protected, 210,000 deaths prevented, 115 to 200 million cases of malaria averted and US$7.4 billion of improvement in local economies.

Future distributions

Many recognise the impact of AMF’s work, yet we still have significant immediate funding gaps that are over US$300m. While this number seems daunting, every US$2 matters as that funds another net and allows two more people to be protected when they sleep at night, so no support is too small or inconsequential.

1,170,000th donations so far and over US$636 million raised!

We are thrilled to have passed these totals, with most donations ranging from a few $, £, €, CAN$, NZ$, AUS$, bitcoin and more - to many thousands.

We are so grateful for your support. Thank you!

Tax-Deductibility

We now have tax-deductible status in 14 countries.

The two most recent legal entities added are AMF (Portugal) and AMF (Korea), following the addition of AMF (France) and AMF (Switzerland). We continue to assess the need for tax-deductible status in other countries.

AMF top ranked!

AMF has again been top-ranked by the leading organisations 'dedicated to finding outstanding giving opportunities'.

GiveWell has ranked AMF a top charity for all of the last 17 years (since 2009). GiveWell has been a strong supporter of AMF's work and we thank their team for their continuous and thorough assessment of what we do.
The Life You Can Save has AMF as a top-ranked charity for the fourteenth year in a row. TLYCS and their team has equally been a stalwart supporter and their work and recommendations have led to tens of thousands of lives being saved.
