Researching the Anti-Malarial Drug, Artemisinin

Malaria is still the single largest child killer in Africa. The disease takes the lives of some 3,000 children per day.

The Rotary Club of Honesdale is supporting the Himalayan Institute's project to grow Artemisinin (Artemesia Annua L). The plant leaves are used to make tea to treat malaria.
