Orlando Bloom Helps Comedy Fight Malaria

Stars from television, film and music have joined Malaria No More to use their talent (and their funny bone) to shine a bright light on the malaria crisis and get people talking about malaria.

Of course, there’s nothing funny about malaria, but comedy can be a powerful tool for bringing the issue to a new audience. Although malaria was eradicated in the United States nearly 60 years ago, many Americans do not know that this preventable and treatable disease continues to claim the lives of more that 850,000 people every year, most of them children under the age of 5 in Africa.

Comedy Fights Malaria takes a brand-new approach to an age-old health issue. Rather than the traditional method of earnest appeals for aid, Comedy Fights Malaria focuses first and foremost on providing entertaining content in the form of web videos, public service announcements and character sketches to educate and engage a new audience in the fight against malaria.
