Nothing But Nets
I’d vaguely heard about the campaign for malaria-deterring mosquito netting in conjunction with Millennium Promise, but I was recently reminded by a post over at the UN Dispatch blog. The effort has seemingly taken on new life after Rick Reilly wrote about it in his Sports Illustrated column (very much worth the read). If you’ll remember, Rick Reilly was also the one who wrote about the Hoyt triathlon team.
Cool things to note about the “Nothing But Nets” campaign: it’s the work of “the United Nations Foundation, in partnership with Sports Illustrated, the NBA, and the People of the United Methodist Church.” I love the diversity of participation in this. It also worth noting that 100% of donations go directly to the nets, since the U.N. Foundation was specifically set up to cover admin costs, without dipping into donations.
So, c’mon, go spend your $10 on a net already.
