The Roll Back Malaria Zambezi Expedition

Sumitomo Chemical is proud to sponsor the Zambezi Expedition, a dramatic health project that will highlight the malaria epidemic in six African countries in the Zambezi River region. Starting at the source of the river and finishing in its delta, medical teams will travel more than 2,500 kilometres (1,550 miles) in inflatable boats through Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. By exposing the difficulties of delivering mosquito nets and medications to remote areas, the Zambezi Expedition will demonstrate that only a coordinated cross-border action can force the disease to recoil and turn the lifeline of southern Africa into a "River of Life" for those threatened by malaria. Read more.
