Healthy Start for Refugee Children
Help us deliver essential health services to one million children.
With nearly 47 million forcibly displaced children globally, refugee children are among the most marginalized, at-risk people. Forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, and climate disasters, they often find themselves in overcrowded refugee camps or unfamiliar environments with limited access to basic necessities, including protective health services. This leaves them vulnerable to preventable diseases, malnutrition, and even death.
Healthy Start for Refugee Children is a special initiative of Shot@Life and United to Beat Malaria, global health campaigns of the United Nations Foundation, that, in partnership with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), aims to deliver essential health services to one million refugee and displaced children living in East Africa. The success of this campaign will not only ensure refugee children receive the health services they urgently need, but also deliver related health education and strengthen health systems so host countries may better meet the needs of displaced families moving forward.
Give Once
Safeguard the health of women, children, and refugees most vulnerable to malaria.
Your gift will provide bed nets, diagnostics and testing, and community healthcare workers to protect communities most at risk.
Due to new tax provisions going to effect in 2026, give while tax savings are the highest in 2025. Many donors are choosing to bundle donations now to maximize giving.
Donate by Stock, Securities, IRA/QCD or DAF
When you transfer ownership of stocks or securities to United to Beat Malaria, you receive a charitable deduction for their full market value and you incur no capital gains tax (subject to IRS deduction limits).
Did you know?: Next year, new tax provisions from the One, Big, Beautiful Bill go into effect. Many donors are choosing to give additional gifts in 2025 or bundle donations to Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) while tax savings are the highest. If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can make distributions up to $108,000.00 from a traditional IRA or Roth IRA to United to Beat Malaria. The distribution counts towards your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the current tax year and may help reduce your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Consult a lawyer or financial adviser to see if you qualify.

Leave a Legacy
When you make a gift to United to Beat Malaria through your estate, you are investing in the lives of future generations of families affected by malaria. Your planned gift (also known as a bequest) helps us move closer towards ending malaria for good.

Give to the Lifeblood Fund
Donating to our campaign’s general operating fund is a great way to sustain our work long-term.
Beyond our day-to-day operations, your unrestricted gift gives us the flexibility to respond to global emergencies as they arise: in recent years, we’ve responded to malaria emergencies in Mozambique, Venezuela, and Nigeria thanks to Lifeblood funding provided by our donors.
