Malaria kills. Send a net. Save a life.
Unique Outdoor Mosquito Pro’s Commitment
Unique Outdoor Mosquito Pros is proud to partner with NothingButNets.net to help “Fight the Bite”. In doing our part to help fight one of the one of the leading killers of children in Africa, Unique Outdoor Mosquito Pros will donate a net for every mosquito system sold! The net will be donated in your name or the person of your choosing. Every donation to Nothing But Nets goes directly toward the purchase, distribution and education about the proper use of a long-lasting insecticide-treated bed net. Bed nets can prevent malaria transmission by 50 percent and up to 90 percent in areas with high-coverage rates. They are distributed through the Measles Initiative—a partnership led by the United Nations Foundation, the American Red Cross, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and UNICEF. Working closely with national governments and local communities, the Measles Initiative has reached more than 500 million children in nearly 60 countries.

Malaria Kills
Malaria is preventable, but infects nearly 500 million people each year and kills more than 1 million of those who become infected. Ninety percent of deaths caused by malaria occur in Africa, where the disease is a leading killer of children. Every 30 seconds a child dies from malaria. Children who are able to survive the disease are faced with physical and mental impairments, such as poor growth and development. Moreover, every day 25 million pregnant African women risk severe illness and harm to their unborn children from a malaria infection. Malaria contributes to low birth weight among newborn infants, one of the leading risk factors for infant mortality. Malaria incapacitates people and keeps them from working while they recover or take care of sick children. Malaria keeps countries poor. In addition to the burden on the health system, malaria illness and death cost Africa $12 billion a year in lost productivity.
