Malaria kills a child
in Africa every 30 seconds. The disease is both the
cause and effect of Africa’s poverty. But in Uganda,
a pioneering farmer, Clovis Kabaseke, believes he
has an answer to both problems, using the Chinese
herb Artemisia. Artemisinin-based Combination
Therapies - are one of the best new hopes for
defeating Malaria. Clovis hopes that by encouraging
African farmers to grow the plant, he can cure both
poverty and this deadly disease.
