How to Donate Mosquito Nets
Malaria is preventable, but causes nearly 500 million illnesses each year and kills more than 1 million of those who become infected, according to the official website of Nets Save Lives. Mosquito nets are an effective way to protect citizens of countries like Africa from malaria. Donating to an organization or charity that delivers mosquito nets to these countries can help save lives. Mosquito nets can cut down on the number of mosquitoes that come in contact with a person, thereby reducing the risk of contracting malaria.
