A wide variety of legitimate charitable organizations raise awareness, help those in need and fight for worthy causes. However, the prevalence of charity fraud makes it necessary to use caution before donating your hard-earned money. A common way to protect yourself against scams is to check charity ratings compiled by major watchdog groups. Another benefit of checking ratings is it allows you to compare charities and helps you choose an organization to which you will donate.

Elizabeth McKee Gore works at Ted Turner’s UN Foundation and oversees Global Partnerships there. She told me the cool story about creating Nothing But Nets five years ago. The UN Foundation wanted to help cure the world of malaria. Her bosses charged her to develop a strategy to build a public campaign.

April 25th is World Malaria Day. Normally, we commemorate these days, in recognition of those suffering worldwide from diseases like malaria. This year, however, I’m part of a group celebrating the day instead and calling on others to do the same.

I flopped down on the bed, flipped on the T.V. and saw a BBC documentary that would change my life. One sentence spun my brain: “Did you know that every day 3,000 children in Africa die of malaria, needlessly?” Turns out if sub-Saharan African kids six and under could just sleep under bed nets, they’d be almost entirely protected from malaria-carrying mosquitos. They might die of something else, but not malaria. And a net is only $10, the announcer said.

Everyone can contribute in the fight against malaria. “From students, to CEOs, to YOU.” That’s the message of the United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets campaign. Tonight, in honor of World Malaria Day, the campaign will launch a two-week Champions to End Malaria photo exhibition at the UN, in collaboration with the Roll Back Malaria Partnership.
