education today she's launching a new campaign with a focus on malaria and it's timely because it comes as experts warn malaria deaths in africa could more than double this year compared to the last because of corporate 19 in a moment i'll be talking to sarah but 1st more about her new campaign in her own words oh used challenges. each one moment none of us is yet. back room is we time to smoke together we must stay safe we must move this group we're not the trouble that we're facing right now. every 2 minutes and this phone when various. times of crisis. let us count commander area covered 19 to give them answers the more lives. see the bigger picture and make the world safer for
11:33 pm
all. and i am now pleased to welcome sarah come out of so did everything is africa she is joining us from her home in johannesburg welcome to day to have in years africa say it's good to see you you have campaigned for many a good cause effect malaria this time why. this is. growing out of the i grew up in central africa yes it was a regular time and at one point we almost lost one of my younger sisters to malaria which it becomes deliberately area so this is personal and i feel that it's time for me to almost get involved and make a small difference is special because. it can be overwhelming it's affecting everybody and it's what is topical at the moment the last month for get malaria and
11:34 pm
that's why i stepped up and joined. what can be a dad right suit to prevent malaria claiming more lives this year we've already heard some experts warning that the amount of people like a diverse here could be double what died last year because of the cold the pandemic . their reality is before covered 90 malaria could have affected half the population of the world so it's big i think what could be done 1st of all is not forgetting it you know combating malaria as well as current 19th ensuring that we continue to invest in a mosquito nets as we have been in the past and creating now awareness to make sure that the people that are affected your are top of mind as we go on our feet if duty's. that's right if it's been saying that you know malaria doesn't get the attention that it should because it's a 3rd world problem right. what do you think about that. you know
11:35 pm
it is what it is it's true right govern $1000.00 is affecting everybody it's a race of gnostic class that last but malaria is unfortunately you know restricted to sit in areas and that's the reality and which is why i thought my voice as small as it is likely to rise up and unite and make that difference the nice thing is there is a lot of work that's been done in the us and also if vision actually in malaria so i think with people like me with you start giving us the platform we can actually combat it irrespective of the fact that it's only localized to sit in areas and not the rest of the world so you have explored the world in your adventure as we saw you up at the top of mount everest that's not something i've seen many black women do right climbing these mountains and and going to the heights that that you have
