AMA: Rob Mather, founder and CEO of the Against Malaria Foundation

Abstract

The Against Malaria Foundation (AMF), a non-profit organization founded in 2005, uses public donations to purchase and distribute insecticidal mosquito nets in malarious areas. The organization’s process has remained largely the same over the years. AMF receives donations from the public that it uses to purchase long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs), and then works with distribution partners, including national Ministries of Health, to distribute them to households in need. Independent partners help AMF monitor all aspects of its programs, including post-distribution monitoring to ensure that the nets are hung and used properly. AMF has grown significantly over the past five years. The organization has received over $235 million in donations and has distributed over 56 million nets. AMF has also been a GiveWell top-rated charity since 2012. – AI-generated abstract.
