The Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) is a United-Kingdom based charity[2] that provides long-lasting insecticidal nets to populations at high risk of malaria, primarily in Africa. The foundation has distributed more than 200 million nets since its creation.[3]

Nets are distributed through partnerships with the International Red Cross, the Malaria Consortium, and others, with partners responsible for the costs of distribution. Distributions include malaria education for the local population, and they are documented through reports, photos, and video.[4] Post-distribution check-ups are conducted by independent survey partners to assess net usage and conditions, typically after 9, 18 and 27 months.[4]

AMF has eight trustees and an advisory committee drawn from malaria experts around the world.[5][6] The charity is registered in the United Kingdom and governed by the laws of England and Wales. It is also registered in sixteen other countries, including the US, Germany, Canada, Japan, and South Korea.[7]
