The UN Foundation and Millennium
Promise have been working with the
UN to fight malaria for years. But
it was a column that Rick Reilly
wrote about malaria in Sports Illustrated--and
thousands of letters and donations
from people like you--that led to
the creation the Nothing But Nets
campaign.
The reaction to Reilly's 815 words
made clear that thousands of people
were ready to help the million children
dying unnecessarily each year of
malaria. And so Nothing
But Nets was born.
Already, groups as diverse as the
NBA and the United Methodist Church
have joined the campaign. Now, we're
asking you to help spread the word
about Nothing But Nets, and how
easy it is to protect children from
malaria with bednets.
You can save a family. Your church,
school, or team can save a village.
Together, we can cover Africa with
lifesaving bednets.
