In many areas of the world, mosquitoes are not only a nuisance, but a vector for a disease for which there is no vaccination, and one which is responsible for the death of thousands of people each year: malaria. Although anti-malarial drugs can provide some protection against some strains of malaria, none are effective against all strains. For this reason, both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) highly recommend sleeping under a bed net to reduce contact with insects. The U.N. Says Mosquito Netting Could Save 500,000 Lives in Africa World Health Organization report.

Each year, according to the WHO, some 500 million people are infected with mosquito-borne illnesses: dengue, malaria, yellow fever, and various forms of encephalitis, including the West Nile virus. More than 2.5 million die, many of them young children.
It is well established that using mosquito netting reduces the risk of malaria infection and other mosquito borne diseases by a factor of 10 to 20.

The purpose of our organization is to launch a worldwide campaign to stamp out malaria through the distribution of free anti-malaria mosquito nets. Each and every dollar you contribute will go towards the purchase of family-sized insecticide-treated mosquito nets costing $10 each.

On 25 April 2000, African leaders from 44 malaria-endemic countries participated in the first-ever African Summit on Malaria in Abuja, Nigeria. To highlight the

gravity of the malaria situation on the continent, the leaders at the Summit also declared that 25 April of each

year would be commemorated as Africa Malaria Day.
