Over the last decade, malaria programs such as the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), and UN agencies have delivered over half a billion bednets to families in need. And we know these efforts are working – the World Health Organization estimates that more than 4.3 million lives have been saved since 2000. What’s more, deaths from malaria among children under five in Africa have declined 58%!

Every year in early December, when most people are joyfully putting up their holiday décor, we are anxiously awaiting one thing: the release of the World Malaria Report, an annual catalogue by the World Health Organization of the latest results in the fight against malaria. This year’s report is evidence of the exceptional progress that has been made against the malaria since 2000. Here are five key highlights from this year’s report which came out today.

With the help of organizations like Nothing But Nets, I hope to see malaria eradicated in my lifetime. In order to turn this dream into action, I am joining Nothing But Nets to raise awareness and send bednets to help save lives.

Today, we announced The Million Nets Pledge, our new two-year commitment to protect refugee families from malaria with one million bednets by 2016. This ambitious $10 million pledge focuses on our increased work with UN partners to protect children, refugees, and families displaced by conflict in sub-Saharan Africa from malaria.
