Mosquito Nets

Looking at her newborn, this young mother knows she is doing her best to protect her baby and herself by using mosquito nets.

In Uganda, malaria is the biggest killer of children under five. Sleeping under a treated mosquito net can reduce the incidence of malaria by up to 90%. In fact, hanging an insecticide treated mosquito net can reduce the number of infective mosquitoes in a 984-foot radius around where the net is hung. Did you know that for only $6 you could prevent one child from acquiring malaria and also decrease the possibility of malaria for the entire family as well as for families in neighboring huts?
