Protect Children from Malaria in RwandaKilling more than 1 million people a year--mostly children--malaria is a deadly disease carried by mosquitoes. Insecticide-treated bed nets are a proven, cost-effective way of saving lives, yet in Rwanda, one of the poorest nations in Africa, many families cannot afford one as they struggle to survive in the face of malnutrition, AIDS, a shattered economy, and the legacy of civil war and genocide. $40 provides enough anti-malarial bed nets to protect 10 families.
