Each year, Bill Gates writes an Annual Letter on the issues he considers most important, both personally and for our partner, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, with a particular focus on global health. His third Annual Letter was released this morning, and highlighted malaria and the progress being made globally to meet the goal of ending malaria deaths by 2015.

Our partner Orkin knows bugs. It turns out they also know how to make a great game! Today they’re launching Bug Battle, a new FREE iPhone game that allows users to swat flies, pinch termites, and squish ants.

After five years of strong leadership under Dr. Mark Dybul, we look forward to working in partnership with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria’s new Executive Director Peter Sands. No other organization has contributed more resources to the fight against malaria than the Global Fund, including nearly 800 million bed nets delivered to families around the world. The Nothing But Nets team looks forward to continuing to champion the lifesaving work of the Global Fund under Peter Sands’ leadership as we push to eliminate malaria for good.

Hanging bed nets is easy when you’re over seven feet tall. This week, NBA Legend and Nothing But Nets Champion Dikembe Mutombo is being featured on CNN’s Impact Your World for his work to send nets and save lives with Nothing But Nets!
