Each year, there are approximately 515 million cases of malaria, killing between one and three million people. The majority are young children in sub-Saharan Africa
One of the most effective ways of preventing the disease is mosquito nets, although - due to their cost - only one out of 20 people on the continent of Africa own a bed net. Our top news story this week focuses on a rural region of Angola, which is receiving nets for free, thanks to Christians in action
