1,000 Nets in One Year

Imagine No Malaria is an initiative of the people of The United Methodist Church to raise $75 million to eliminate malaria deaths in Africa by 2015. In partnership with our brothers and sisters in Africa, the gifts and resources shared through Imagine No Malaria will empower an entire continent to achieve a sustainable victory over the disease. We will accomplish this goal together with a comprehensive approach to fighting malaria that includes improving prevention, education, communication and treatment.

For our part, the Wesley Foundation at Georgia Tech has set a goal of purchasing 1,000 mosquito nets between April 25, 2010 and April 25, 2011. A net costs $10 - please donate $10, and buy a net!

Nets Purchased To Date: 11
