Nothing But Nets

Nothing But Nets
Global Concerns - a way you can help:
Malaria kills more than a million kids in a year. 90 % of these children are in Africa. Despite the magnitude of the problem, there is a simple and cost-effective solution to prevent malaria deaths. For just $10, the Nothing But Nets Organization can purchase a bed net, deliver it to a family, and explain its use. Bed nets work by creating a protective barrier against mosquitoes at night, when the vast majority of transmissions occur. A family of four can sleep under an insecticide-treated bed net, safe from malaria, for up to four years
For just $10, you can save a family.

It will give you the information about how the nets help the families, how they distribute, etc. Also, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match donations given for the nets. There are several partners to this organization, among them The United Methodist Church and the National Basketball Association (NBA).
