Thanks to all the JCI members who have worked since 2008 raising awareness and fundraising for nets, the JCI Nothing But Nets campaign has reached more than 90 countries around the world. And thanks to the hard work of young active citizens in over 5,000 communities, JCI has raised $ 1 million, a milestone on the road to ending malaria deaths through the purchase and distribution of insecticide-treated nets.

Along with this milestone, Chris Helfrich, Director of the UN Foundation’s Nothing But Nets campaign, announced last week that now, a child dies every 60 seconds from malaria. In 2008 when the campaign began, a child died every 30 seconds.
