Looking back: The Work of Jocelyn Wyatt & Malaria Treatment in 2007 [video]
In 2008 Acumen Fund invested in Botanical Extracts EPZ Limited (Former known as ABE) an extremely interesting social venture that trains farmers in Kenya and Tanzania and then manufactures the raw material (Artemisia annua- sweet worm) used to make these new malaria drugs. This herb was actually used in Chinese traditional medicine for over 200 years to treat malaria fevers. Globally, its doses in the form of ACTs have increased from 4 million in 2004 to 45 million in 2006.
This is a short video by Acumen Fund Fellow Jocelyn Wyatt about her work in Kenya originally shot in 2007.
