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 2010. While listening to the show, be sure to visit our special Malaria resource page, full of videos, links, and more.http://media.worldvision.org/rss/podcast/show275.mp3
