This will save lives for years to come.

FAQs
Why $8550?
900 people live in Malikha Village and each net cost $9.50. 900x$9.50 = $8550. It's a big goal, but statistics show that if 75% of a village starts using nets, then the Malaria rate drops by 90%.
What if we don't raise the full amount?
We really hope we do and we need your help to do that! But if we fall short, we'll just buy as many nets as possible and pass them out to kids first and adults second.
How will you make sure the villagers use the nets?
When we pass out the nets, one of our doctor friends will come with us and hold a seminar for all the villagers. He's done this before and will ensure that the nets get installed properly.
