ERD Congressional Testimony highlights role of faith-based institutions in fighting malaria in Africa
By Staff
[ENS, WASHINGTON, DC] In a hearing to mark Africa Malaria Day April 25, Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) testified before a key U.S. congressional subcommittee on the role of faith-based organizations in fighting the malaria pandemic in Africa.
"The Church and other faith communities . are the first point of contact for help," Susan Lassen, a consultant who coordinates ERD's NetsForLife program in malaria control, told the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health.
"Faith communities have long had the ability to build and mobilize a delivery system that will reach the most vulnerable populations who live 'at the end of the road,'" said ERD President Robert W. Radtke.

It was the first time two individuals were honored with the award during the same year.
"This is a great honor," said Hames, who added that he'd spent the past 17 years as Episcopal Life editor, "just dealing with the things that came our way."
