Student Leaders Against Malaria

Student Leaders Against Malaria
Student Leaders Against Malaria (SLAM) aims to
educate the future leaders of the world by
developing the leadership skills, civic
involvement, and social awareness of our student
ambassadors. SLAM, a project of the Malaria
Foundation International (MFI) will play a key
role in educating children about malaria. The
SLAM project involves pairing up U.S. based
schools with schools in malaria endemic
countries. SLAM will develop leadership skills
of students who will grow the project. The
project aims to equip schools in malaria endemic
regions with computer labs to facilitate joint
learning programs with schools in the USA.

The project will not only promote malaria
awareness, advocacy and education but has the
potential of broadening horizons to these
children who may otherwise have never had these
opportunities. The parents of the majority of the
students from the malaria endemic regions are
illiterate, hence the focus on the children to
pass on the education. A Pilot program is
currently under way in 3 schools run by James
Finlay (Kenya) Limited, located in the Tea
plantations of Kericho, Kenya. Participating
Schools in Kenya include Marinyn High School,
Marinyn Primary School, and Work Shop primary
school.
