Malaria No More. Nets Save Lives.
Giving Bed Nets has become a popular gift that gives more. For only $10 you can buy a bed net which protects a family of four against the mosquitoes that carry malaria.
UNICEF encourages people to give the gift of survival by giving an insecticide- treated bed nets as one of the UNICEF inspired gifts. This year for the second year in a row, Malaria No More will be one of the beneficiaries of the Idol Gives Back Program. Last Christmas Oprah encouraged her readers to give a net to aid in Malaria prevention as part of the year of giving brilliantly in her Christmas Issue of O Magazine.
Giving a net and saving lives is an example that even small donations can make a world of good.
Remember: Malaria kills. Send a net. Save a life.
Ending Deaths Due to Malaria
The mission of Malaria No More is simple to end deaths due to malaria. Even thought the world has known how to beat this disease for more than a century, each year more than 1 million people still die from malaria.Malaria is still the number one killer of children under five in sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly 15% of African children die before their 5th birthday and malaria is the biggest reason why.
Something as simple as using a bed net can prevent Malaria.
Malaria kills.
Send a net. Save a life.

An Introduction to Nets are Nice by Laura Bush
Malaria is a devastating problem in many parts of the world. Each year more than a million people die of the disease, and the overwhelming majority of these victims are children under the age of five. The most distressing fact of all is that most of these deaths need not happen, because malaria is preventable and treatable.The good news is that individuals of all ages can make a real and lasting impact in the lives of people who are vulnerable to malaria. Nets are Nice offers an opportunity to engage the energy, creativity and compassion of children, and to make them aware of ways they can help others who are in need.
Laura Bush

Fight the spread of malaria in Africa
In Africa malaria has decimated villages, ravaging people and economies, threatening the future of the continent. Each year, up to half a billion people worldwide fall ill with malaria, and over a million of them die, mostly children under 5. Insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets are the first line of defense, and a $10 donation will buy one. Learn more at malarianomore.org. (more)

- Oh my, a terrific lens with a ton of great information! I'll vote 5* for sure, faved & lensrolled too. A wonderful lady (not underprivileged) we met in Blantyre, Malawi has just sadly passed from malaria at 38 years old, and of course hundreds of children die every day. Best to you and your efforts here!
