The Rephaiah, not-for-profit, project aims to produce malaria medicine for children

aged 0-5 years to be sold at a very reasonable price. This is possible because the drug

will be produced in Malawi, by Malawians, not only influencing the access to, and the

price of the medicine, but also boosting manufacturing and pharmaceutical knowledge and

experience in the country. In the long run the Rephaiah Project is working on better health

for young children, that will in due course, together with LLIN and other measures taken

against the spread of malaria, enable children to do well in school, resulting in better job

opportunities and improved quality of life.
