Bed Nets to Protect Children
Protect 50 Children
Against Malaria Foundation
Problem
Malaria is transmitted by certain mosquitoes when they bite. These mosquitoes bite people to get a blood meal. The malaria parasite then passes from the infected mosquito to the person being bitten. They typically bite between 10 o'clock at night and two in the morning - and that's one of the most important things we have on our side: if we can protect people in affected areas when they sleep at night we have a very good chance of preventing them contracting malaria.
The Gift
Your gift of $50 will provide twenty-five long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), each of which will protect, on average, two people, and will last for three to four years.
