Celebrate 5 Years of Sending Nets & Saving Lives

It’s an exciting week for the Nothing But Nets campaign — it’s our 5th anniversary! 5 years ago, the UN Foundation officially launched this global, grassroots campaign to send nets to save lives from malaria in Africa. Since that day in 2006, we’ve brought together the world’s largest group of partners and grassroots supporters to fight malaria — raising nearly $40 million to send more than 6 million insecticide-treated nets to families across Africa. 

We’re incredibly proud of what partners and supporters like you have helped accomplish to save lives with Nothing But Nets. According to all statistics from our UN partners, your efforts are making a huge difference in the fight against malaria: malaria prevention and treatment are saving approximately 485 lives every day.  We’re well on our way to covering the continent with life-saving bed nets and reaching the global goal of ending malaria deaths by 2015 — and we’re not stopping until every family in Africa can sleep safely under a bed net.
