Who We Are?
The One Net One Family organization is an IRS 501(3)(c) tax-exempt non-profit organization that is dedicated to the fight against malaria in Africa. Its goal is to support awareness, education, training, and research for the immediate and long term development and application of mosquito nets to combat malaria infections and widespread diseases.
Our vision and main priority is to provide one family with one mosquito net, which is so far the best way to combat mosquito bites carrying malaria.
Our approach is a collaborative venture between organizations and mosquito net manufacturers, to make pre-treated nets at low cost using recycled fabrics that we will provide with the help of private and public donations. It is critical to combine the education and prevention program with easy access to treated mosquito nets. This is why we supply treated mosquito nets to persons at risks with little to means: rural dwellers
Why help us in our fight against malaria?
We understand that as an individual or the member of an organization you are asked frequently to give money, and we know that it is important for you that your money is used wisely and effectively. One of the main strengths of our program is that there is very little lost of resources and that you can see clearly the result of your donation within a short period of time.
Your financial contribution can make a huge difference, with results that you can see in the mid-term. You can be an actor in relieving one of the major burdens on the shoulder of Africans. Helping the people of Africa to get healthier is one of the most concrete things we can do to lifting them out of poverty.
Why Africa and why Now?
Contrary to popular belief, AIDS is not the number one killer of Africans in Africa. That honor goes to malaria, which needlessly kills adults and children alike, just because they cannot afford to sleep under bed nets.
Africa alone bears the burden of 90% of the 300 million acute global malaria cases resulting in death. This disease is Africa's leading cause of under-five mortality (20%) and constitutes 10% of the continent's overall disease burden. It accounts for 40% of public health expenditure, 30-50% of inpatient admissions, and up to 50% of outpatient visits in areas with high malaria transmission.
Also unlike AIDS, there is a cure, and it can be prevented for $10.
