The Zambia Malaria Foundation was born out of the 2002 Ndola Fresh Air Workshop. Fresh Air – so named as a hopeful contrast to early European beliefs that malaria (mal aria, literally “bad air”) was caused by the tropical air -- was a conference showcasing the latest in anti-malarial treatment, prevention, and research. Fresh Air was held under the

aegis of the Child Survival Collaborations and Resources (CORE) Group.

Similar secretariats have been set up in Kenya, Tanzania,

 and Uganda
