Malaria threatens half the people on the planet and kills around 800,000 people a year, many of them too young to have even learned to walk. The death rate has come down in the last decade, but full-scale eradication will cost billions and drag funds away from other equally, or possibly even more urgent health efforts.

Can a simple cube save a life? E3 Resources believes it can. In fact, the Global Partners division believes a simple cube may help save the lives of millions.

Dubbed MalariaCube, e3 Resources has developed an engaging tool that aims to educate viewers on causes, treatment and prevention of malaria. Using pictures to eliminate the language barrier, MalariaCube unfolds to reveal important facts that help identify how to prevent malaria.

“We believe the MalariaCube will strongly facilitate in the education and awareness of Malaria, and therefore long-term community transformation can dramatically improve,” says Casey See, executive director of e3 Resources.

E3 Resources staff is heading to Africa next week to train more than 50 leaders—Ministry of Health officials, community health workers, and social workers from Kenya and other regions—on the effective and life-saving possibilities of the MalariaCube. Staff will also work with frontline workers of the Christian humanitarian organization World Vision, who is a leader in ending malaria deaths around the world.

The African leaders will implement progressive training across Africa in their areas of responsibility that has the potential to save, change and improve the lives of people. The “Train the Trainer” sessions will kick off a six-month pilot project designed to transform the way vast regions approach malaria prevention.
