Malaria is a serious disease caused by a parasite transmitted via mosquito bites that kills over 1 million people in Africa each year, most of them children. The parasites multiply in the liver and infect red blood cells, causing symptoms like fever and vomiting. It hits poor communities hardest by making people too sick to work and potentially face deeper poverty. Prompt treatment and preventative measures like insecticide-treated bed nets can significantly reduce malaria cases and deaths, especially in children, with donations helping to deliver and distribute vital interventions.

The document discusses Mexico's role in the Spanish conquest and colonization of the Philippines from 1565 to 1821.
