Learning that as little as $10.00 can make a difference and prevent millions of children that die unnecessarily each year of malaria inspired CTG to choose Nothing But Nets as its January 2009 Change Project. Pulling our resources we contributed $100.00 and purchased 10 nets for families in Africa.
Nothing But Nets is a grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. While the UN Foundation has been working with the UN to fight malaria for years, it was a column that Rick Reilly wrote about malaria in Sports Illustrated, challenging each of his readers to donate at least $10 for the purchase of an anti-malaria bed nets — and the incredible response from thousands of Americans across the country — that led to the creation of the Nothing But Nets campaign.
