"In the poorest parts of the world, where effective window screens are lacking, insecticide-treated bed nets are arguably the most cost-effective way to prevent malaria transmission."  --www.NothingButNets.net

It only costs $10.00 to purchase an insecticide treated bed net, ship it to Africa and educate a family on how to use it properly.  One bed net will protect a family of four for four years.  When many of these bed nets are used in one locality, it can help stop the spread of Malaria over entire villages.

For more information on how you can get involved with our Nothing But Nets initiative, you may contact Betsy Harkleroad at (434)239-1348.
