This June, Katherine Commale was invited to speak in Taiwan- and receive a “Hero Award” from the Taiwanese President. That’s amazing, but even more impressive is the fact that Katherine is 17 years old. But before she was an internationally known philanthropist, she was just a 5 year old girl with a big heart and a passion for the mission of Nothing But Nets.

Ebola is back.  A new outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has swelled to nearly 60 cases and left 27 dead as of this week.  Worse still, a confirmed case has reached Mbandaka, a densely populated port city on the Congo River where 1.2 million people live.  Mbandaka is 250 miles away from the village where the original Ebola case in this outbreak was identified, underscoring how quickly this virus can spread if left unchecked.

2018 is going to be a BIG year. In fact, it’s shaping up to be one of our most impactful years yet.

But before we forge ahead, first I want to take a moment to pause and reflect. We wouldn’t be able to help protect so many people from deadly mosquitoes without support from our Nothing But Nets community.
