Yesterday the US and UK’s other G7 allies stepped up and made bold and courageous pledges at the Global Fund Replenishment, raising a record-breaking $14.25 billion dollars to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and malaria. The funds raised will help put the world back on track to end malaria in a generation

Despite these generous commitments, the original $18 billion target was missed, in part because the UK was not able to make a pledge at this time. The UK has until 31 October to make a commitment.

Without a pledge from the UK Government, decades of progress against the disease and millions of lives will be put at risk.

We recognise that during these challenging times – both economically and in international politics – difficult decisions must be made. However, we urge our new Prime Minister to stand with its G7 allies and meet the call for a 30% increase in funding for the Global Fund.

By fighting malaria we will protect millions of children, their education and futures. But we also create a world that is safe for people here in the UK and across the Commonwealth, by creating a stronger global health system.

Right now, malaria is killing a child every minute. It is a disease that disproportionately affects women and girls. It holds back lives and whole economies from achieving their potential.

With incredible breakthroughs in science on the cusp of being rolled out, including malaria vaccines, this is not the time to step away.

Join us in asking the UK Government to step up, pledge and stand with our G7 allies. As we must #FightForWhatCounts.
