History of Project Mosquito Net

Project Mosquito Net is a collaboration of non-profits to provide insecticide treated bed nets to children and pregnant mothers in Mbita, Kenya (Mbita is approximately 400 km from Nairobi). The project began in 2005 as a joint effort between the San Diego based organization Power of Love, the Orange County based non-profit Be the Cause and the Akado Medical Centre located in Mbita, Kenya. The project has grown significantly over the last 5 years and our main goal continues to be eradicating malaria in the region, and making Mbita malaria free. We need your help do this and as always 100% of the funds raised for this project go directly to purchasing and transporting insecticide treated bed nets (ITNS).

In Africa, over 700,000 children die needlessly every year from Malaria which is easily preventable disease. In fact, more children die from malaria then any other disease in the world. In addition, many more children contract malaria and suffer from its effects over their entire lifetime. So how do we eradicate malaria? One child and one mosquito bed net at a time. In the US, malaria has been eradicated. It is possible to eradicate it worldwide.
