Nothing But Nets

"Nothing But Nets" is a grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. While the UN Foundation has been working with the UN to fight malaria for years, it was a column that Rick Reilly wrote about malaria in Sports Illustrated, challenging each of his readers to donate at least $10 for the purchase of an anti-malaria bed nets -- and the incredible response from thousands of Americans across the country -- that led to the creation of the Nothing But Nets campaign. This campaign was featured during the season premiere of Ugly Betty on Friday, 16 October, from 8 to 10 p.m. EST on ABC in the United States. The episode aims to raise awareness about the “Nothing But Nets” campaign

The reaction to Reilly's 815 words made clear that thousands of people were ready to help the million children dying unnecessarily each year of malaria. Within a few short months, Nothing But Nets raised over 1 million dollars. And so Nothing But Nets was born.
Fact: Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies from malaria.
