Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa.

The people of The United Methodist Church, along with Sports Illustrated, NBA Cares, the United Nations Foundation and several other groups, are raising funds to purchase bed nets to end malaria. You can join the cause and contribute money for bed nets that will keep children and families safe.

Malaria will kill over ONE MILLION this year! Join the fight against this disease by coming to the GO CONCERT on Wednesday, December 9 and bringing a love offering to save lives. It takes just $10 to buy a bed net and protect a child from malaria.

Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes on Crowd

Microsoft founder
turned philanthropist Bill Gates released a glass full of mosquitoes at
an elite technology conference to make a point about the deadly disease
malaria.

“Malaria is spread by mosquitoes,” Gates said while opening a jar onstage at the Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference — a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars.

“I brought some. Here I’ll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected.”
