The people of the United Methodist Church in collaboration with the NBA and Sports Illustrated magazine are participating in the Nothing But Nets campaign to help stop a deadly disease – malaria. In sub-Saharan Africa, a child dies every 30 seconds from this preventable disease. This is a statistic that the world must pay attention to according to Bishop Joao Somane Machado, leader of the United Methodist Church in Mozambique.
“This is not an African issue,” said Machado.
“It’s not only for poor countries.
It’s global.”
Just $10 buys a bed net, distributes it to a family and provides education on how to use it. Just one bed net can keep an entire family safe from malaria transmission for up to four years!
Consider this:
* Every 30 seconds, a child dies in sub-Saharan Africa because of malaria.
* Nine out of 10 deaths caused by maleria occur in Africa.
* YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
We can beat this awful disease and save future generations. So give a child the opportunity to live a life of health and happiness.
Communicate the need. Buy a bed net. And save a life.
