The United Methodist Church is a founding partner of
Nothing But Nets
, and has been fighting
to end malaria
since 2006. As a result, millions of bed nets have been sent to families in need in sub-Saharan Africa. Together we have made amazing progress against the disease, but malaria still kills a child every 60 seconds. Just $10 buys a bed net, distributes it to a family, and provides education on how to use it.
