Junior Chamber International (JCI)

Nothing But Nets

The UN Foundation has been working with the UN to fight malaria for years. But it was a column that Rick Reilly wrote about malaria in Sports Illustrated--and thousands of letters and donations from people like you--that led to the creation the Nothing But Nets campaign.

The reaction to Reilly's 815 words made clear that thousands of people were ready to help the million children dying unnecessarily each year of malaria. And so Nothing But Nets was born.

Already, groups as diverse as the NBA and the United Methodist Church have joined the campaign. Now, we're asking you to help spread the word about Nothing But Nets, and how easy it is to protect children from malaria with bednets.

You can save a family. Your church, school, or team can save a village. Together, we can cover Africa with lifesaving bednets.

Based on the 2004 JCI resolution to advance the UN Millenium Development Goals, JCI wants to contribute to diminishing the mortality rate of children under five. JCI aims to do this by mobilizing its organizations in 115 countries to raise funds to purchase and distribute live-saving bed nets through the Nothing But Nets™ campaign.

JCI has set a goal of funding 1,000,000 long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets by 2015!
