Founder Story
Sam Darling was named for his grandfather, Dr. Samuel T. Darling, whose groundbreaking malaria research in Panama was pivotal in understanding and preventing this vector-borne disease. The efforts of the NOMO Foundation to reduce mosquito-borne disease in Africa are inspired by Dr. Darling’s work on behalf of those who suffer most from mosquito borne disease: the poor. Agriculturalist and developer of NOMO, Sam had 40+ years of experience growing the repellents key ingredient, lemongrass, in third world environments. Sam dedicated his life to reducing suffering in poverty stricken areas, he spent the last 20 years devoted to NOMO. In an unexpected and tragic turn of events, Sam was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer this year and died before he could realize his vision. We are passionately committed to carrying on his his mission to radically reduce mosquito-borne disease in poor communities.
