What is the
"Nothing But Nets" Campaign?
Nothing But Nets is
a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing
malaria, a leading 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.
Why Should I
Get in the Game?
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
treatment are important tools. Purchasing bed nets is an
easy way for individuals to make a difference in combating
this disease. At this time, no consistently effective
malaria vaccine exists. Plasmodium, the parasite that
carries the disease, changes rapidly and can become drug
resistant. With your help, we can slam dunk this disease. |

How Do Bed
Nets
Save Lives?
Stop
malaria from scoring! Send a net. Save a life. 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. |
