'Buzzkill' represents an effort to help spread the word about malaria and the lives it is taking. Anyone, at any age, can help. We are working in conjunction with Nothing But Nets, the United Methodist Church, and the United Nations Foundation, among others.

Why Malaria?

Malaria is a disease caused by the blood parasite Plasmodium, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Infected humans experience flu-like symptoms that can result in coma and death. Malaria, from the Medieval Italian words mala aria or "bad air", infects more that 500 million people a year and kills more than a million - one person dies about every 30 seconds.
