Malaria is still Africa's biggest killer, the attributed cause of over one third of all recorded deaths. The best protection is a mosquito net, treated with the mosquito repellent Permethrin.
A net will typically be shared by three or four children.
A donation of $35 will protect 18 children, $135 will protect all the children in a typical village.
