Then the kids in Sub-Sahara Africa need you!

At the moment, one child somewhere in the world dies of malaria every 30 seconds! It infects 350-500 million people each year, killing 1 million, mostly children in Sub-Sahara Africa, where malaria accounts for about one in five of all childhood deaths.

So here at UNICEF NZ, we’re wanting to put a stop to this preventable disease, and have come up with the UNDER COVER campaign, to get 140,000 kids under the cover of a life-saving net by year end.

But we need your help! We can only get these kids under cover if generous Kiwis like you spread the word and buys nets. It’s a simple equation: 1 net = $11 = 4 kids saved from malaria!

How can you help:

• Buy an $11 net (you purchase it, we deliver it)
• Encourage your friends to buy a net – spread the word on Facebook or Twitter
• Add a funky widget or UNDER COVER banners (static or animated GIFs) to your website or blog (go on, no cost to you!)
• Fundraise for UNDER COVER nets – check out what Otago Uni did

If we all pull together, we can stop a child dying from malaria every 30 seconds! Lets get 140,000 kids UNDER COVER.

We’ve 1548 safe so far, how many will you put UNDER COVER? Leave us a comment.
