Taking the First Step: Turning donor dollars into nets.
Malaria No More teamed up with the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) and the Government of Uganda to distribute 580,000 long-lasting insecticide-treated nets to pregnant mothers, children under five and other vulnerable populations during April-May 2007. The campaign was part of a larger 2.4 million net distribution, which ultimately doubled household bed net ownership from 25% to over 50%.
