MERIT
The Health and Climate Foundation is focusing attention on Meningoccocal Meningitis, a disease which puts the lives of 350 million people at risk in sub-Sahran Africa.

The Meningitis Environmental Risk Information Technologies (MERIT) Project, which we helped start in September 2007, aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from the health, environment and social sciences to use our collective knowledge to identify and help people most at risk.
