Nothing But Nets

Net and Malaria facts:  Only female mosquitoes can transmit malaria Malaria's etymological roots are in the Italian language, and “Malaria” translates literally as “bad air,” a reference to the early belief that the disease was caused by breathing the stale, warm, humid air found around swamps.

Four Nobel prizes have been awarded for work associated with malaria to Sir Ronald Ross (1902), Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran (1907), Julius Wagner-Jauregg (1972) and Paul Hermann Muller (1948). 

Two important, currently used anti-malarial drugs come from plants whose medicinal values have been noted for centuries: artemisinin from the Qinghao plant (Artemisia annua, China, 4th century) and quinine from the cinchona tree (South America, 17th century).

Every $10 covers a family of 4 with a bed net and can keep them safe for up to 4 years.
