Recently I watched a program about malaria and its deadly affects, especially on developing nations. A mosquito net could reduce these deaths by 50%. The problem is that the people in these countries can't afford them.
Each year, malaria afflicts approximately a half-billion people (roughly the population of the United States, Canada, and Mexico combined).
Malaria kills more than a million people per year; 90 percent of those who die are African children.
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 cost Africa about $12 billion per year. Although insecticide-treated nets can reduce malaria by 50 percent in areas of high transmission, less than five percent of children in Africa sleep under a bed net.
