Nothing But Nets
Saw a commercial for this charity. Seems like a worthwhile donation to buy mosquito nets for the Chad refugees. It's a United Nations Foundation charity, rated 4 star and 100% of your $10.00 donation goes to buy nets, distribute them to families and provide education on the proper use of the nets.

Absolutely - I have suggested this in lieu of "what to bring" - and mentioned this foundation some months back. Also, Bill & Melinda will match your contributions.
Nets help worldwide where those nasty mossie are killing children especially. |
I first became aware of this effort when Sport's Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly wrote a great column about the effort:

This does sound like a great cause. Thanks for posting.

This is another organization buying Nets to stop malaria. Founded in 2006 by leading non-governmental institutions, Malaria No More works in partnership with the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), UNICEF, the American Red Cross, the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Millennium Promise, United Way of America, United Nations Foundation, the Global Business Coalition and others. |
Actually it turns out Malaria No More works together with Nothing But Nets.
