Comic Relief Provides Malaria Relief
- Posted on 03.24.09
The UK’s Red Nose Day—a project of Comic Relief—has raised nearly £60 million to help poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people turn their lives around across Africa, throughout the world’s poorest countries and closer to home here in the UK. This year, Comic Relief put a special spotlight on fighting malaria in Africa.
Red Nose Day invited people across the UK to “Do Something Funny For Money” and donate to this great cause. In addition, several British celebrities climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise funds and awareness about malaria on the continent. Comedy specials aired on the BBC and the whole country took part in the effort to improve lives around the world.
Red Nose Day gets it name from the red clown noses (which change in style from year to year) worn across the country to make the day.
