Every day, I have the pleasure of speaking with people of all ages and from all walks of life. Some are kids who have “donated” their birthday to raise money for bed nets; some are entrepreneurs who want to include saving lives in their business plan; and some are people who have had malaria themselves and know how devastating the disease can be.

At three months on the job, I’m the newest member of the Nothing But Nets team. I’m constantly inspired by my team, the rest of my UN Foundation colleagues, and the people I talk to each day who keep this campaign running: our Nothing But Nets supporters.

Sagude Rafera lives in Gonbore, Ethiopia, a small village of just a few hundred people 3.5 hours southwest of the capital city of Addis Ababa. Six years ago, with support from the U.S. government, the Global Fund, and other donors, the Ethiopian government built a health post in Gombore, staffed with two trained Health Extension Workers.

Three years ago, I joined the Nothing But Nets team to plan our City Tours and help spread the buzz about the movement to end malaria across the country. I was on the job just two weeks when I was asked to put together a week of events in Philadelphia. After our first City Tour, meeting with our partners, the best steak and cheese I’ve ever had, and a missed train (little did I know, this would be the first of many) — I was hooked.

The words above are from the most important column I ever wrote for Sports Illustrated — the column that inspired the UN Foundation to launch the Nothing But Nets campaign five years ago today.

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.

On Monday December 5, 2011, the committee in the House of Representatives that focuses on global health will hold a hearing on malaria called “Fighting Malaria, Progress and Challenges.”

Last week, Nothing But Nets spread the buzz about the movement to end malaria at Virgin Unite’s “Rock The Kasbah 2011.”

In Geneva today, the World Health Organization released the 2011 World Malaria Report — and there’s great news! This year’s report has data from 99 countries, and shows that, working together with our partners, we’re saving lives from malaria.

As we go through this journey of life, there are a few significant experiences that influence us in such substantial ways that they alter the course we are on and the way we perceive our purpose here on earth. For me, one of those experiences was representing the WNBA as one of the founding spokespeople with the UN Foundation’s Nothing But Nets campaign.
