“This is not an African issue. It’s not only for poor countries. It’s global.”
Bishop Joao Somane Machado Mozambique Conference

The United Methodist Church joins other sponsors including the UN Foundation, Sports Illustrated and the NBA to help save lives and reduce the deaths that claim the life of a child in Africa every 30 seconds. Consider these facts:

  • 3,000 children in Africa die from malaria every day.
  • Malaria is both preventable and treatable.
  • For just $10, you can buy an insecticide-treated bed net that can keep a family safe for up to four years.
  • Nothing but Nets works with the Measles Initiative to deliver nets to even the most hard-to-reach areas of Africa.
