Program Purpose: To build awareness about how malaria affects the global health system by “buying a net to save a life”

Global grassroots campaign to raise awareness and funding to fight malaria, a leading cause of death among children in Africa.

Malaria affects more than 200 million people a year and causes over 600,000 deaths mostly children under the age of five in sub-Saharan Africa.

A child dies of malaria every 60 seconds.

It only costs $10 to provide a life-saving bed net to protect a family from malaria

Nothing but Nets

Bed nets work by:

Stopping mosquitoes from biting at night and spreading the disease.

Insecticide on the net kills the mosquitoes when they land, preventing them from flying on to find their next victim.

JCI and US Jaycees are partners with the NBN campaign to provide JCI members the opportunity to take action against malaria through advocacy, education and fundraising in their communities worldwide

Collectively, JCI has donated over $2 Million and ranks as the campaign’s 2
