Against Malaria is a global focus for mosquito net fundraising. Every US$5 buys a long-lasting insecticidal mosquito net and then our partners fund the shipping, distribution, education and evaluation costs. 100% of the money you donate buys the nets themselves and they are put over heads and beds by our partners and we demonstrate that has happened. Our aim is to show there is global mass support for beating malaria. We aim to get millions of people to participate.

The world is mobilizing for the fight of our generation against malaria in Africa, the killer and destroyer of life. Canadians can be front and center.

There is no more effective tool to fight disease-carrying mosquitos than treated bed nets. The Canadian national campaign Spread the Net, in partnership with UNICEF Canada, will cover Africans in both Liberia and Rwanda with 500,000 mosquito bed nets over the next two years, saving countless lives. Each net costs only $10, the price of a couple of lattes.

$10, one net, save lives.

Nothing but Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. Inspired by Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly, who challenged each of his readers to donate at least $10 for the purchase and distribution of an anti-malaria bed net, thousands of people have joined the campaign. Founding campaign partners include the National Basketball Association’s NBA Cares, The People of the United Methodist Church, Malaria no More, and Sports Illustrated. Active partners such as VH-1, AOL Black Voices and Rotarian’s Action Group on Malaria are joining the fight. Nothing but Nets just completed distributing the first round of 150,000 nets to Nigeria through the Measles Initiative – a partnership of the United Nations Foundation, American Red Cross, U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, UNICEF and local country governments and ministries of health.
