Why malaria?

Malaria kills about 400,000 people every year and more than 200 million fall ill. Before bed nets were made available, it was three or more times that. Nets are a proven intervention - a more effective a way of saving lives than any other. There is still a long way to go and every death from malaria is preventable

​

• 70% of the deaths are children under 5

• Malaria is the world's single largest killer of pregnant women

• 90% of the deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa

 

Yet malaria is totally preventable and treatable. Nobody need die. Prevention is better than treatment.

​

• The most effective means of prevention is sleeping under a mosquito net

• Specifically a Long-Lasting Insecticide treated Net (LLIN)

• Each net costs $2.00/€1,70/£1.50

• Every 50-250 nets distributed and installed equals 1 life saved.
