Dec 13 2012

In the U.N. Foundation Blog, Gretchen King, director of the Lutheran Malaria Initiative (LMI), examines the efforts of LMI to "mobiliz[e] U.S. Lutherans in the global effort to end malaria deaths in Africa." She writes, "While much of our campaign has focused on U.S. Lutherans, recently LMI held its first advocacy day on Capitol Hill," adding, "We shared with several members of Congress and their staffs the work of LMI, the importance of continued U.S. bilateral funding for anti-malaria programs, and strong support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria" (12/11).
