Mr. Yury, the founder of the foundation, was deeply moved by his firsthand experiences during a visit to Africa, where he witnessed the harsh realities faced by local communities. Struck by the beauty and vibrancy of the children he encountered, he was devastated to learn that many of them would not live to see adulthood due to the persistent threat of malaria. This experience fueled his determination to bring about meaningful change and ensure a brighter future for the people of these regions.
Driven by a vision of long-term prosperity for Africa, Yury sought not only to address the immediate health crisis but also to empower local communities with sustainable solutions. His approach became revolutionary, grounded in a desire to go beyond temporary aid and create lasting impact. Drawing on scientific research, he identified the mosquito fish (Gambusia) as a highly effective biological control method for reducing malaria-carrying mosquito populations. Understanding the importance of local adaptation, he carefully verified the data and worked with experts to implement this solution on the ground.
Yury’s innovative thinking and commitment to a future free from malaria have been central to the foundation’s mission. His leadership has inspired a holistic approach, focusing not only on combating the disease but also on improving the long-term health and well-being of African communities.
