Nothing but Nets

Nothing but Nets is a service that distributes $10 dollar nets to children and adults who are suffering from Malaria. Malaria is a life-threatening disease that is caused by a single mosquito bite. Every 60 seconds, a child dies from Malaria. As a result of this, Africa's population is decreasing rapidly. For example, this is how happy a child is when they recieve a net. I think it's great that there is a service like this, so they can start to help prevent Malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. These nets are very in-expensive and it's such an easy way to contribute to the African population. What do you think, should we take other precautions besides Nothing but Nets?
