I STAND TO FIGHT MALARIA PROJECT OVERVIEW

The project I Stand to Fight Malaria was started on May 6th 2015, by Wilfred Masea Bha-Yanho, A young filmmaker living in Nairobi,Kenya. Wilfred has worked on different projects with a couple of Video Production Companies in Kenya, until he was involved in the shooting of "Insight Malaria", A documentary project of "STOP MALARIA NOW" campaign. A network of ten NGOs from Europe and Africa, which goal is to raise public and political awareness of Malaria in Europe.
Wilfred was selected amongst the winners of the film contest "Insight Malaria" which involved 13 young filmmakers from 6 different European and African countries, and worked as an active member of the international film crew and participated in developing storyboard, focusing on different aspects related to the disease and together with the other crew searched for the stories from the grassroots levels in Malindi/Kenya.
During the shooting of the project, he was able to realize how essential information can be to people and more especially to Kenyan people who lives in regions affected by malaria and do not have clear information about malaria and what causes the disease.
After the complete of the project on 19th September 2010, He started doing more research on malaria and looking for the best solution on ending the spread of the disease. He did a deep research for a couple of years, He later started "I STAND TO FIGHT MALARIA" A project with an aim of reaching people through The Power of Information. A project which he believes will help many understand more about the disease and a project with a goal of reducing extreme poverty and inequality.
