Dear Friends Malaria Partners International-

Join MPI board members and me on a trip of a lifetime to Zambia to see Malaria Partners International’s work up close. While there, we’ll spend time with local Rotary members, meet with our partners on the ground, and see remote health clinics where important malaria prevention and treatment take place. Along the way, you’ll have time to ask questions, build relationships, and see the exciting work of Malaria Partners International with your own eyes. We’ll also see lots of local wildlife and end our trip with a visit to the famous Victoria Falls - the highest waterfall in the world.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,

Jenny Andrews
Executive Director
Malaria Partners International
