Bed Nets 4 Life --urgent request



URGENT REQUEST

TO PURCHASE 1,000 MOSQUITO NETS IN UGANDA FOR 
REFUGEES AND CHILDREN IN UNDERDEVELOPED VILLAGES  

This Christmas and holiday season, Think Humanity has an opportunity to purchase long- lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLIN) from our supplier for less than ever before.

If we can get donations for 1,000 nets, we can purchase the nets for only $4 each and potentially save the lives of 4,000 people/children. That is only $1 each person over the next 5 years of the life of the net.

PLEASE HELP US REACH THIS GOAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

$4,000 = 1,000 bed nets

BED NETS 4 LIFE 

(Previously called our Meds and Nets Program)

Protect and save children with bed nets:
Approximately 3,000 children under the age of 5 die each day from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa — a preventable disease. Studies show that when children sleep under a bed net, which protects them from being bitten by a mosquito while they sleep, their risk of being infected with malaria drops sharply. When everyone in a community sleeps under these new long-lasting, insecticide-treated nets, malaria-carrying mosquitoes start to die off, and the incidence of malaria infection is reduced.

Together, we can work to help eliminate malaria and provide more BedNets4Life to protect refugees in camps and underdeveloped commuities in Uganda. Insecticide is woven directly into the fabric of the nets, which can protect as many as four children for up to five years. Your support will help Think Humanity purchase and provide these bed nets to families that need them most, and training on how to properly use them to prevent malaria. In different areas of Uganda, Think Humanity has already distributed about 25,000 bed nets and has seen a dramatic 86 percent decline in malaria cases.

We thank you for your support. 

Act today to help eliminate malaria:

$20 can provide 5 nets and  protect  20 children
$40 can provide 10 nets and protect 40 children
$60 can provide 15  nets and  protect 60 children 
$100 can provide 25 nets and protect 100 children and their families.

Think Humanity is grateful for your support as we work alongside communities and refugee camps in Africa to prevent malaria and save children's lives.
