Yenagoa — The hit television programme; "Big Brother Africa Revolution" and African private sector companies are supporting the Global Fund's fight against malaria by contributing funds from a high-profile awareness raising campaign, undertaken as part of the United Against Malaria campaign.
The contributions are particularly significant, marking the first African private sector donations to the Global fund. United Against Malaria is a partnership of influential leaders, organisations, and sporting stars who have joined forces ahead of the hosting of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa in 2010, to end preventable malaria deaths.
All fundraising associated with United Against Malaria will go to the Global Fund for malaria prevention and control in Africa."Big Brother Africa Revolution", now in its fourth season, is a popular reality television series, produced by Endemol South Africa, and seen on M-Net on DStv in 47 countries across Africa.
Between November 24-26, Big Brother Africa Revolution will set tasks for the housemates which will create awareness for malaria prevention. In addition, 50 percent revenue earned by M-Net and Endemol from SMS messages sent by Big Brother Africa viewers will be channeled to the Global Fund. "We are delighted that the African private sector has shown such commitment in the efforts to prevent and control the spread of malaria in Africa, Professor Michel Kazatchkine, Executive Director of the Global Fund stated. "Ninety percent of deaths from malaria occur in Africa.
African-based companies can have a critical role in saving lives," he added.Through a series of tasks including installing, mending and sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets, Big Brother Africa housemates will be highlighting the critical need and importance of malaria prevention. They will also be tasked with making beaded bracelets in support of United Against Malaria as part of a larger awareness-raising and fundraising initiative led by Africa private sector companies, such as Nando's and MTN, which will continue after the Big Brother broadcasts.
A percentage of revenues raised from all United Against Malaria bracelets sold will be donated to the Global Fund for malaria prevention and control in Africa.M-Net Africa Director, Biola Alabi said, "M-Net believes that this is a vital and necessary initiative and so we are pleased that our Big Brother Revolution series is able to provide a continental platform where information regarding the prevention of malaria in Africa can be highlighted. It is clear that fostering greater education and understanding is key part of the process in preventing the spread of malaria. We participated in this campaign to make a positive contribution to this worthwhile and critical endeavour."

St. Paul In A Letter To The Christians In Rome Said :
" For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is
among you, NOT TO THINK OF HIMSELF MORE HIGHLY Than
He Ought To Think; but to think soberly, according AS GOD HAS
D EALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH .
We All Should Think Highly Of Ourselves, Keeping In Our Mind
That God Gave Us Dominion Over The Earth
, NOT EACH OTHER. !!!!!!!!
