The old saying is true—everything really is bigger in Texas. That includes the generosity of the good people of Houston, the latest stop in the Nothing But Nets team’s travels nationwide with The Lion King: Gazelle Tour. So far, we’ve joined the production on Broadway and in Orlando, and will appear in St. Louis soon.

The musical showcases the beauty and majesty of Africa, a place deeply connected with Nothing But Nets’ work to end malaria. Most of the people infected with malaria live in sub-Saharan Africa. Thanks to our generous partners and committed grassroots supporters in places like Houston, together we are making a difference against the disease!

At three months on the job, I’m the newest member of the Nothing But Nets team. I’m constantly inspired by my team, the rest of my UN Foundation colleagues, and the people I talk to each day who keep this campaign running: our Nothing But Nets supporters.

Whether you started sending nets after reading Rick Reilly’s Sports Illustrated column in 2006 or, like me, you’ve just come on board recently, one thing hasn’t changed -- how easy it is to help. $10 sends a net and saves a life. This means truly anyone can become a Champion in the fight against malaria -- from the kid with a lemonade stand, to the CEO who can make a 6-figure gift. Every donation counts towards our goal of covering a continent with life-saving nets.
