How malaria is affecting the citizens in the southern part of Africa.
 * What is our topic?**

There is an organization that's called the A. M. R. F.. It stands for African Medical Research Foundation The A. M. R. F. are trying to understand the cause and the affect about the malaria, and they are looking for solutions to this problem. Access to an accurate, early diagnostic services and effective treatment as close to their home as possible, so they can easily save them from danger, or when they are in times in crisis. The organization is also trying to lower their risk of getting malaria by: through personal and community measures, especially like those long-lasting insecticidal nets and anti-malarial medication, particularly for pregnant women and children. They are also making women who are pregnant to eat or use vitamins to help and give them, as in the babies and the women strengths.
 * Is there any organizations that is putting actions to this issue?**
 * What exactly are they doing to try and combat or change your issue?**

We had liked this particular organization because they are trying to save the next generation kids. Which is by giving their mothers vitamins, just help them control their malaria while they are giving birth, and the babies will get a healthy body as well, this would solve the problem of infant mortality. Another thing that we liked about this organization was that they seem to be very interesting. They didn't do the same or similar events to help prevent or solve the situation of malaria.
 * What are some things that I like about this program?**

Where do they get the money from, did they get it from the United States? If it is, the how much are they getting, is it 9 million dollars or is it close to a million? Where did they get the medicine from, a sponsor, fund raiser, or did they get it from the governor? What's there brand name of that vitamin that they are giving to the pregnant ladies? So by giving those women, that are pregnant, some vitamins to make the baby healthy, but is it working? Or is it failing? Are they focusing on men as well, or is it only about pregnant women and the new generation kids?
 * What questions do I have about this organization?**

I am thinking about having a fund raiser to raise money and donate the money to them. So by giving them the money, they can buy their needs to overcome this devastating situation to that has been going on in South African. I also would go to South Africa to help out the people.
 * How could you become involved with this organization or model your action plan after it?** 

=**Case Study 1 Part 2:**=
 * Part Two: Find and research another organization (yes, this means your group is researching two organizations) that is currently doing work on your narrowed topic and answer the following questions. This person should answer the questions and print out the resource that they gathered this information from

The organization is Friends of the Global Fight

They are raising a fund to fight malaria. It brings together, donors, affected communities, individuals and more to help fight malaria.\
 * What exactly are they doing to try and combat or change your issue?**

They are a non profit group, and they have raised and donated very useful items that help prevent malaria, such as bed nets for pregnant women and treatment for malaria patients, such as therapy.
 * What are some of the things you like about their program?**

How does the fund work? Is it anonymous donations? and can you simple just give money or do you have to go through some process to donate?
 * What are some questions you have about it?**

We could either try getting other people to get involved with the organization, or we could start our own fund raiser or raise our own fund. Make sure to give your resource information to person one.
