major global killers. All funds go directly towards the Nothing but
Nets Foundation, a completely not-for-profit campaign created by the UN
foundation that provides long-term, insecticide-treated bednets for
hospitals in countries throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The use of
bednets has caused a significant drop in the number of deaths due to
Malaria by preventing the disease vector - the mosquito, from biting
and infecting the victim.
