Churches in the USA have collaborated in the production of a major NBC television documentary ahead of World Malaria Day on 25 April 2011.

The 'Faiths Act' Fellows programme is organising an event to inform people about malaria and inspire them to action against a disease that kills nearly nearly one million people a year.

Diseases such as malaria, polio and measles, which would be quickly and effectively treated in developed countries, often become fatal.

World Vision has launched its Alternative Gifts’ Christmas catalogue, encouraging the UK public to buy Alternative Gifts this Christmas and help make a life-changing difference to families and communities living with poverty around the world.
