“Nothing But Nets”
“Nothing But Nets” is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a lead-ing killer of children in Africa. Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly challenged his readers to donate $10 for the purchase of an anti-malaria bed net, and thousands of people have joined the campaign. The people of The United Methodist Church, along with Sports Illustrated, NBA Cares, the United Nations Foundation and several other groups, are raising funds to purchase bed nets to end malaria. You can join the cause and contribute money for bed nets that will keep children and families safe.
The children of Africa need you to help stop the spread of this disease. There are many different ways to prevent malaria. Bed nets, vaccinations, insecticide spraying and water treat-ment are important tools. Purchasing bed nets is an easy way for individuals to make a difference in combating this disease. Bed nets work in two ways: They stop mosquitoes from biting during the night and spreading the disease, and the insecticide on the net kills mosquitoes when they land on it. At this time, no consistently effective malaria vaccine exists. With your help, we can slam dunk this disease. Stop malaria from scoring! Send a net. Save a life.
