In this World Malaria Day special webinar, Stefan Witek-McManus highlights the results of study into the impact of Learner Treatment Kit (LTK) in schools in Malawi. This innovative study looked at the effectiveness of training teachers to use LTKs – simple first-aid kits containing malaria rapid diagnostic tests and artemisinin-based combination therapy,  to manage uncomplicated malaria and other basic health problems experienced by primary school children. 
Amina Fakir-Knipiler and Christelle Maitre-Anquetil introduce the School Children against Malaria programme. This initiative engaged primary schoolchildren as change agents to lead to individual behavior change and engage the community in the fight against malaria. They also be presented the MOSKI KIT; a comprehensive range of tools specifically designed to conduct didactic, interactive and fun malaria learning sessions with kids within the classroom.
