Malaria is the leading killer of children in Africa. Mosquitos spread malaria. So it makes sense that if you stop mosquitos from biting, it stops the spread of malaria. Nothing But Nets is a worldwide grassroots campaign to stop the spread of malaria by providing insecticide treated mosquito nets to families in Africa. Nothing But Nets is part of the United Nations Foundation and is a 501(c)(3) public charity.
Every 30 seconds someone dies of malaria. A donation of $10.00 purchases a mosquito net and sends it to Africa, protecting a family of up to four with a mosquito net, greatly decreasing their chances of contracting malaria. How to help: (1) Donate directly on their Web site, (2) buy a sweet "Buzzkill" shirt or other Nothing But Nets gear from the Nets Store, (3) spread the word with their free toolkits and posters, (4) send e-cards, (5) download a Nothing But Nets toolbar and raise funds for NBN every time you do a Web search, or (6) become a Net-raiser as an individual or by joining or starting a team and challenge friends and family to reach a fund-raising goal.
Send a net, save a life.
