NOTHING BUT NETS -- Every 30 seconds in Africa a child dies of malaria. Malaria incapacitates people, keeping countries poor. In addition to the health burden, malaria illness and death costs Africa about $12 billion per year. When you send a net, you provide hope for a healthy future. Now, when you donate $10, you can send a message of hope and a life-saving bed net to a family in Africa. Nothing But Nets supporters have already helped to purchase over 275,000 bed nets for refugees in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Sudan.

Important Kit Assembly Information
All items included in kits must be NEW items
All kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits contain only the requested items—nothing more.
Do NOT include any personal notes, money or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.
Any of these kits can give GOD’S HOPE
to desperate persons in desperate times.
