Don't let the bed bugs bite...

We all hate mosquitoes and other similar pests. Most of us in the western hemisphere don't worry about contracting malaria from a mosquito bite. But in Africa, malaria is a leading cause of death of children. It kills nearly one million children each year and every day 3,000 children die from the disease.

NothingButNets.net is a campaign to save lives by preventing malaria. By donating only $10, you can purchase an anti-malaria bed net.
