• Malaria claims twice the number of victims as AIDS each year.
• Globally, 500 million people are infected with malaria every year.
• Over 2.2 million people die from malaria annually.
• 90% of all cases are found in Africa
• Every 30 seconds a child dies of Malaria.
• One case of malaria can cause up to 100 other infections.
• Pregnant women and children under the age of 5 are most susceptible to malaria.

" The biggest problem is that westerners only think of HIV. HIV is a horrible disease of course. But, it is malaria that keeps Africa down. And the saddest part is that it is an entirely preventable disease."
- Dr. Lamine Diawara (A Sengalese physician)

HIS Nets is a non-profit organization which provides a Christian response to the global malaria epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. While raising awareness of this on-going global crisis, HIS Nets is also mobilizing Christians and other caring groups to save lives and improve the quality of life of those in high malarial areas of sub-Saharan Africa.

HIS Nets purchases insecticide treated sleeping nets which are then given to African families. These special nets provide protection to an entire family at a modest cost. The nets are distributed by churches and other agencies free of charge as a tangible Christian witness.

• One net costs less than $6.00, so for less than the price of a dinner or movie, one life could be saved and an entire family can sleep in peace.
• These special nets continue to protect families from mosquitoes, and thus malaria, for up to four years.
• These nets have been proven to cut the incidents of malaria infection by half and child deaths from malaria by one-fifth.

HIS Nets is a perfect project for Sunday school classes, children's clubs, or even for individuals who are looking for a cost effective yet highly productive way to make a direct contribution to people in serious need.
