Nothing But Nets — Helping African children
Malaria claims 3,000 children a day. That's one life every 30 seconds.
Mosquitoes spread it. We can stop it! The goal is to raise funds to eradicate malaria in Africa, where the mosquito-borne disease causes the death of one-fifth of all children under 5 years old. Hanging nets over children while they sleep is a simple, inexpensive way to kill the mosquitoes or keep them from biting. $10 will purchase 1 net. Please contribute generously to this program.
Please make your check out to BUMC "Malaria Project." |
