Protecting lives with lifesaving malaria nets
Malaria cases are over 200 million worldwide, with a death rate ranging from one death per 10,000 to 250. My mission is to provide basic mosquito nets to those in need, reducing infections and saving lives. Your support can help protect more vulnerable individuals.
Founder’s personal journey
Why malaria nets matter
While promising solutions such as vaccines, mosquito genetic modification, and Wolbachia bacteria are being developed, insecticide-treated nets remain the most affordable, practical, and immediately effective tool for prevention. Malaria vaccines are an important new tool, but they are not a replacement for prevention. In many high-risk communities, insecticide-treated nets remain one of the most practical, affordable, and immediate ways to reduce mosquito bites and protect families.
Malaria
Process of infection
Once plasmodiumparasites are in the bloodstream, they travel to the liver, multiply, and affect red blood cells, causing malaria symptoms including fever, headache, and chills.
Mosquito types
Female Anopheles mosquitoes carry malaria and are difficult to control because they breed quickly and adapt easily to different environments.
Vaccines
The two main ones are RTS,S, developed in 1987 with 40% efficacy, and R21, made in 2012 with 72% efficacy, and both are approved by WHO.
Cost to eradicate
Eradicating malaria by 2040 would cost between $90 billion and $120 billion, according to the Gates Foundation, with an annual funding reaching $6.4 billion.
