Welcome to His Nets!

His Nets is now in its seventh year of saving lives from malaria "one net at a time." Starting with just 1,900 nets in 2005, our work has grown each year. By the end of 2010, over 100,000 have been distributed which equals about 200,000 lives saved!

And His Nets remains one of the most cost-effective ways to fight malaria today. While other organizations ask for $10.00 to deliver a net, we distribute the highest quality, family sized net for about $6.00.

Nets are purchased and distributed to families in Africa to protect them from malaria infected mosquitoes. Because the homes of many families in sub-Saharan Africa are small, one room affaires, one large net repels mosquitoes for an entire family for up to six years! According the World Health Organization, distribution of these nets is currently the best way to fight malaria!

The treated nets protect especially those most vulnerable to malaria: children under five and pregnant women. His Nets also distributes individual or smaller nets to children’s homes, orphanages, hospitals and clinics.

Putting a Face on Malaria

Through the years His Nets has touched more than half a million lives. Numbers however cannot tell the entire story. Just a week ago I was in Ghana with a team to distribute nets east of Lake Volta, near the Togo border. 2,000 nets were given out in small towns & villages and in a school & a hospital. It was at that hospital on our last day of distribution that the work of His Nets gained a new face and a name.

Rev. Timothy Wilson of the Ghana Baptist Convention had arranged the distributions and accompanied us to each site. As the week ended, he took our 8 person team to visit the pediatric ward of the local hospital. The head nurse told us that over 80% of the small patients were there because of malaria.

To our surprise we recognized one little boy in the ward! His was Onesimus Wilson, the youngest son of our local coordinator! He had gone to the hospital with a high fever due to a malaria attack! His family had only just received an insecticide treated mosquito net from His Nets, but not before Onesimus contracted malaria.

Happily we were able to purchase the medicine that “Oni” needed and he was feeling much better before we left. Statistics such as 10,000 people a day dying of malaria or one child every 30 seconds are just that: statistics. When it is someone you know, like Onesimus Wilson, then the fight against malaria becomes real. It becomes personal!

Thank you for supporting His Nets and helping to save the lives of tens of thousands like Onesimus Wilson!
