Monthly Mission - Nothing But Nets
Nothing But Nets is a global grassroots campaign to save
lives by preventing malaria--the leading killer of children
in Africa. For just ten dollars, you can provide a child with
a life-saving anti-malaria bed net. It’s really that easy. Inspired
by sports columnist Rick Reilly, who asked each of
his readers to donate $10 for a bed net, the campaign is now
thousands strong, with partners such as the UN Foundation,
NBA Cares, Sports Illustrated, VH1, The People of the
United Methodist Church, the Mark J. Gordon Foundation
and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In fact, the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation recently awarded a challenge
grant to Nothing But Nets, meaning they’ll match donations
dollar for dollar up to $3 million!
Please mark your donations “Nothing But Nets” or August
