Buzzoff is committed to the global eradication of Malaria.
The Buzzoff Mandate
Buzzoff seeks to outlines the problem of Malaria and encourage people to raise the profile of Malaria education, prevention, testing and treatment with in their cirlcles of influence. By making Malaria a higher priority more will be done to eradicate the disease.
How we Work
Buzz Off wants to see what can be done to help small communities to better manage the Mosquito populations that are causing the diseases that are taking away their health and their livelihoods. We believe that Malaria and by extension other Mosquito borne diseases can be beaten if we apply the five Buzz Off principles to a community.
Educating
We have run many seminars equiping people to prevent, diagnose and treat Malaria.
Distributing
BuzzOff will also do its part by distributing malaria testing kits, LLIN mosquito nets and antimalarial medicines to local communities. We also provide training materials and have a grants program to fund Malaria prevention programs.
Fundraising
Through its fund raising efforts and sale of nets and testing equipment Buzz Off provides testing kits and small grants for Malaria focused programs so that places that have few resources are not left out of the campaign.
Sharing
The Buzz Off web site is a means through which people can share resources. Educational material can be downloaded so that more information is available to more people.
