Buzz Off is committed to the global eradication of malaria.
The Buzz Off Mandate
Buzz Off seeks to outline the problem of Malaria and encourage people to raise the profile of malaria through 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 that equip people to prevent, diagnose, and treat malaria.
Distributing
Buzz Off also contributes by distributing rapid diagnostic malaria testing kits, LLIN mosquito nets, and antimalarial medicines to local communities. We also provide training materials to support malaria prevention programs.
Fundraising
Through our fundraising efforts and selling nets and testing equipment, Buzz Off provides testing kits and small grants for malaria-focused programs so that places with few resources are not left out of the campaign.
Sharing
The Buzz Off website is a means through which people can share resources. Educational material can be downloaded to make more information available to more people.
