This week, Nothing But Nets is spreading the buzz among more than 150,000 of the most NETworked people around – at the world-famous Consumer Electronics Show (CES)!

As Nothing But Nets supporters, we know you’re committed to helping others. Two years ago today, we asked you turn your compassion you have for sending nets and saving lives to those affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Your response was overwhelming — thousands of you joined the UN Foundation in helping the United Nations in Haiti by contributing to the UN’s Central Emergency Relief Fund (CERF).

Today, we join the UN Foundation and our partners in the global health community to celebrate the life-saving work of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.

A few months ago, we asked for your help in achieving a big goal: sending 150,000 anti-malaria bed nets to refugees in Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Due to the drought, famine, and conflict throughout the Horn of Africa, new refugees are arriving in camps each day. Malaria is a leading cause of death among refugees; they need food, water, shelter — and nets — to survive.

Last night, a new study was published by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in The Lancet with some startling new figures concerning the number of malaria cases and deaths over the last 20 years.

Last week, members of the Nothing But Nets team travelled to the annual meeting of the Alliance for Malaria Prevention in Geneva, Switzerland.

Two years ago, a child died every 30 seconds from malaria. Now, it’s a child every 60 seconds. We’re making huge progress in the fight to end malaria — but just one death from a preventable disease is too many.

Nothing But Nets is joining our founding partner, the National Basketball Association, for NBA All-Star weekend in Orlando, Florida. We’ll be sharing the court at All-Star Jam Session with our friends from the UN Foundation’s Girl Up campaign, spreading the word about how everyone can do their part to be a Champion for good!

Sarah Mumby and the students of Cooper City Elementary School have taken a “casual” approach to sending nets and saving lives. Earlier this year, student government members learned about malaria, the importance of life-saving bed nets, and how easy it is to send a net and save a life with Nothing But Nets.

University of San Francisco student and baseball player, Bob Mott, has a novel approach to saving lives. As part of a course for the USF School of Management, Bob is using his baseball skills to raise awareness about malaria and help send life-saving bed nets.
