8. What’s Being Done? Millennium Promise There is a deadly disease in the world that kills more than 1 million children every year - even more children than AIDS or tuberculosis. It’s called malaria. Transmitted by mosquitoes, malaria causes 350 to 500 million infections each year, threatening 40% of the world’s population. Every $10 gift provides a family a bed net – including the purchase, distribution and other critical elements like education, monitoring and evaluation. Bed nets are only one tool in the comprehensive solution to control malaria and a small portion of each $10 gift supports Malaria No More’s overall work to control this deadly disease. Funding will be provided to Malaria No More's established partners in Africa, such as UNICEF and the American Red Cross, to turn your donation into lives saved.
