Timor Pushes Towards Elimination.
The RAM Volunteer Team has returned from Timor Leste with the exciting news that the National Malaria Control Program, WHO and Global Fund are confidently pushing ahead toward the goal of eliminating malaria in Timor Leste within the next five years and they see RAM as a crucial partner. In any disease elimination program, in the final stages toward zero cases, it is critical to maintain focus on control measures and awareness as it is natural for the community and the health officials to relax when there are few reported cases. RAM is committed to going the distance with the NMCP to see the job done! and we are particularly interested in assisting with controlling cross border infection.

Fantastic End of Year Results for RAM.
Thanks to the great work of all our RAM District Chairs, Committees, Rotarians and friends 2016/2017 has seen pleasing improvements in malaria awareness and a fantastic result in fund raising. Even though many districts have strongly advocated for the malaria Vaccine project and this Project has raised $135,000 (donations through RAWCS) the main RAM operating project has also recorded donations totalling $160,000 representing a 60% increase over the past few years plus a further $37,000 in transfers from other RAWCS projects. Well done all of you!! This is a really fitting tribute to the memory of our longstanding Funding Coordinator PDG Richmond Manyweathers who passed away on 27th May.
