Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) was founded in 2004 and is a charity that fights malaria in a highly effective, accountable and transparent way. We do this by purchasing and distributing multiple millions of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) at a time in nationwide universal coverage campaigns. This is the most cost effective way of preventing malaria. AMF receives donations from the public and in the last financial year received US$107m. AMF is particularly data-focused and monitors and reports on net use and drives and supports innovation to improve the effectiveness of malaria programmes. AMF has been rated a top charity for all of the last 12 years by independent charity evaluators GiveWell and The Life You Can Save who focus on cost-effectiveness and impact. We are a team of nine highly motivated individuals with different skills and experience. Each person has an important role to play. All team members work remotely with constant communication between them. While the team is small, the impact is big - our net distributions protect millions of people. Our largest programme is in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where we are funding 52 million nets to protect 95 million people for distribution during 2021 to 2023. We have ongoing multi-million net programmes in other countries including Uganda, Nigeria, Guinea and Togo. Our activities and commitments have grown over time and AMF is now the world’s third largest funder of nets. In the coming years, we expect to buy and distribute between 25 and 50 million nets per year. Given this pipeline, we wish to add talent to our operations.
