Welcome to the Friends Against Malaria toolkit!
Novartis has developed a new package of materials to stimulate a discussion with children about malaria. Aimed at children aged from 5 to 12 years old, this toolkit uses simple messages, games, story books and a cartoon video to make learning about malaria interesting and fun. We hope this kit will encourage you to talk about malaria with your children, and to perhaps even extend the dialogue through primary schools, educational organizations and other children's groups.
