Give $10, Save a Life

by skarol on 12/23/2009

About: Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign, powered by the United Nations Foundation, to raise awareness and combat malaria, one of the largest killers of children in Africa. The campaign is based on the idea that a little can go a long way. A donation of just $10 covers the cost of purchasing and distributing one long-lasting insecticide-treated bed net, as well as providing education on how to use it. Visit the campaign’s website to learn more about malaria and find out how bed nets  save lives. See the areas where bed nets are going with the Interactive Net Distribution Map, and check out the Net-O-Meter to see how many nets have been sent to Africa so far.

Take Action: Visit the It’s Easy to Help section of the site to find out how you can make a difference. Sponsor nets, shop in the store, or send a message of hope to a refugee. Want to do more? Start a fundraising team and get your whole community involved!
