Nothing But Nets
Issue Area: Children’s Health
A child dies of malaria every 30 seconds, but since 2001, through the Measles Initiative, we have helped to distribute millions of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets to children in Africa as a form of prevention.
Nothing But Nets, a UN Foundation campaign, was created in 2006, and since then, a diverse set of Nothing But Nets partners and tens of thousands of supporters, including UNICEF, WHO, NBA Cares, MLS W.O.R.K.S. and The People of the United Methodist Church, have raised more than $20 million to send bed nets and save children’s lives.
Nothing But Nets frequently works with youth to get the word out about malaria. Check out a video of inspired Atlanta students singing at a recent event where United Nations Foundation Chairman and Founder Ted Turner was presented with a plaque proclaiming a Nothing But Nets Day.
