NETwork Against Malaria (NETworkAgainstMalaria.org) is a nonprofit organization that provides insecticide treated malaria bednets to children, pregnant women, and families in rural Uganda.
NETwork Against Malaria has distributed 3,400 bednets to date. Because three children sleep under one net, NETwork has saved up to 10,200 lives.
NETwork is unique because it focuses on education. We distribute through schools and emphasize the importance and proper use of bednets. In America, we focus on the impact individuals, especially young people, can have on their global community.
NETwork Against Malaria was founded by 5 sisters who at the time ranged from 12-20 in age. NETwork understands the importance of encouraging involvement of young people in our world and realizes the impact one person can make.
