Detailed description:
The United Methodist Church has long recognized the power of working partnerships to invest in the human and financial resources for fighting diseases of poverty.These important partnerships will enable The United Methodist Church to do things it could not do before through existing resources and infrastructure—namely broaden its mission, help more children and save more lives. Such cooperation brings The United Methodist Church into relationships with partners who can use and work with the denomination's health-care resources worldwide.The Nothing But Nets campaign has demonstrated the power of such partnerships between The United Methodist Church and external organizations such as the United Nations Foundation and the Gates Foundation.We now have the opportunity to expand these partnerships to undertake a large-scale fund-raising and advocacy effort that will strengthen and increase the church's efforts to raise public awareness, advocate for humanitarian response, train community health workers, renew hospitals and clinics, and create a communications infrastructure for health ministries.In particular, the United Nations Foundation will be an important partner in this effort. The U.N. Foundation has been a leading organization combating malaria, and as a high-profile foundation with high-level advocacy experience on malaria, lends its credibility and influence to The United Methodist Church's Global Health Initiative.The U.N. Foundation is committed to The United Methodist Church's Global Health Initiative because it believes such alliances will enable us to act more quickly, combine our strengths to result in greater change, and enable us to save more lives.
