SC Johnson and United Nations Team to Tackle Malaria
June 22, 2022SC Johnson, parent company of SC Johnson Professional, has announced a partnership with the United Nations (UN) Foundation’s United to Beat Malaria (Beat Malaria) campaign.
The agreement calls for the two organizations to work together to deliver malaria prevention measures to hard-to-reach communities across the African Great Lakes region. SC Johnson and Beat Malaria will drive prevention, testing, and treatment initiatives in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other countries in the region. The partnership will also develop digital content illustrating the impact of malaria across the region and sharing the stories of the families and health care workers impacted by this disease.
“Malaria is an entirely preventable and treatable disease, and yet, cases and deaths are tragically on the rise around the world, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Africa’s Great Lakes region,” said Fisk Johnson, SC Johnson chairman and CEO. “SC Johnson is committed to applying our expertise in insect science and repellent technologies in partnership with organizations like the UN Foundation’s Beat Malaria campaign to accelerate efforts to prevent malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. One company or organization can’t do it alone. It will take all of us working together to create a healthier world for the next generation.”
