Comic Relief raises millions of pounds through two big fundraising campaigns - Red Nose Day and Sport Relief. Less well known is its work with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to combat malaria and strengthen the healthcare system in countries with particularly acute needs.
Although significant progress has been made in the fight against malaria in the past 20 years, this preventable and treatable disease continues to take a heavy human and economic toll; claiming nearly half a million lives every year, most of them very young children.
Comic Relief joined forces with GSK in 2015 for a five-year programme to strengthen health systems’ ability to fight malaria and improve the health of people living in Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, Sierra Leone and the Greater Mekong Sub Region.
With the five-year partnership reaching its end, Comic Relief were looking for a partner who could help them to create a digital destination to highlight the work of the partnership, its partners, and the communities it works with.
