This #WorldMalariaDay, I’m thinking back on my visit to a laboratory in Indonesia where scientists are working to stop the spread of mosquito-borne disease. They needed a little blood for their mosquitoes, and I was more than happy to share mine! What I saw that day was a reminder that malaria is preventable, treatable, and eventually beatable—but only if the world continues to invest in lifesaving innovations.

Small businesses are heart of their communities and create the majority of jobs. That's why we started Facebook Community Boost, our new free program to help entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses and help people learn digital skills so they can find great jobs. Today we kicked off Community Boost in Houston and I got to meet some inspiring people who are taking our trainings – like Ekiria Collins from @YorkiesofHouston couldn't find anyone to make a website for her business, so she taught herself to code and built her own. Now she's grown from a one woman show to 30 employees. Thank you to everyone who’s making Community Boost possible and to all the small businesses making a difference in their communities.

THE STORY I travelled to Kenya and saw amazing programs supported by Red Nose Day USA. Girls in these programs are using boxing classes to not only learn self defense, but also leadership - tapping into their girl power. I was so inspired by the young women I met there. And it’s not just about being strong in the ring; these girls are future doctors, lawyers, and all around game changers who write their own stories, and will shape the futures of their communities. That’s girl power. #RedNoseDay #NosesOn I'll share more about my trip to Kenya soon. In the meantime, get your very own Red Nose Day Spice Girls tee -and help to fund more incredible programs!
