Malaria still kills mostly children in Africa
Bed nets and drugs worked — yet hundreds of thousands of deaths remain each year.
Demography grids make every person (or belief group) the same square size — density is shown by count, not by bigger blocks. This grid divides global malaria deaths (2023 snapshot) into colored bands — Africa, Asia & Pacific, and 2 more groups — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.
1 cell = 600 estimated deaths in 2023 (0.1% of global malaria deaths) · 1,000 cells
Context
