Nothing But Nets is the world's largest grassroots campaign fighting to end malaria, a preventable disease that claims the life of a child every two minutes. Inspired by sports columnist Rick Reilly, hundreds of thousands of people have supported the campaign created by the United Nations Foundation in 2006.Nothing But Nets brings together UN partners, advocates, celebrity champions, donors, and organizations to raise awareness, funds, and voices to protect vulnerable families from malaria. Working together, we have raised over $70 million to provide more than 13 million bed nets and other crucial malaria interventions to families.
