What We Do

NetsforLife® works to eliminate malaria in some of the most remote areas of sub-Saharan Africa.

Trusted Partners in the Fight Against Malaria

Churches are often the only functioning institutions in these communities located “at the end of the road.” Their presence and power unite people to bring about lasting change for the whole community.

By drawing on this trusted delivery system—churches and faith-based groups— vulnerable people are reached with life-saving nets and other services.  NetsforLife® serves people in need regardless of faith affiliation. 

Saving Lives, Together

NetsforLife® successfully brings together the comprehensive and complementary strengths of corporations, foundations, NGOs and faith-based organizations invested in Africa.

By combining these forces, NetsforLife® reaches more communities and saves more lives.

Instilling a Net Culture

NetsforLife® works to instill a “net culture”—a community-wide understanding of the protective value of nets and the right way to use and maintain them.

When a net culture is in place, people know how to prevent malaria, when to seek medical treatment and how to access effective treatment. The result: less sickness, fewer deaths and stronger communities.

NetsforLife®’s integrated model to malaria prevention focuses on:

• Community awareness and mobilization
• Net distribution
• Monitoring and evaluation
• Access to testing and treatment
