Nothing But Nets
Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign of the United Nations Foundation to raise awareness and funding to fight malaria, a leading cause of death among children in Africa.
The campaign aims to prevent malaria deaths by purchasing, distributing, and teaching the proper use of mosquito bed nets to end malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africa. As of 2012, the campaign has distributed nets in twenty countries throughout Sub-Saharan Africa with current plans to expand into Kenya and Ethiopia.〔(Nothing But Nets: Where we send nets )〕
==Background==
The UN Foundation and its partners use the money raised by donations to Nothing But Nets to fight malaria. In conjunction with the Measles Initiative, a global vaccination effort to fight measles, Nothing but Nets purchases and distributes bed nets in countries and communities in greatest need.〔
Rick Reilly's 2006 column about malaria in Sports Illustrated, wherein he challenged his readers to donate at least $10 for the purchase of anti-malaria bed nets, brought the issue to national attention.〔(Rick Reilly Article )〕 Thousands of Americans across the country donated leading to the creation of the Nothing But Nets campaign.
