The campaign dubbed – âNothing but Nets Campaignâ is a global campaign in the fight against Malaria with the aim being to acquire one million insecticide treated bed nets through targeted project and individual action.
Persons are required to donate a minimum of US$10 or the equivalent in EC Dollars in an effort to assist in acquiring the bed nets. Every US$10 donation to âNothing But Netsâ goes directly toward the purchase, distribution and education about the proper use of a long-lasting insecticide-treated bed net.
This project is part of the United Nations Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG 4) – To reduce child mortality. The theme of this yearâs commemoration is – âEveryone has power to help save lives. Send a Bed Net and Save a life todayâ. Specially marked envelopes can be collected from any JCI member.
