Save A Child Today...

Shivering. Vomiting. Convulsions. Brain damage. Death.

These are the cruel symptoms of the leading child-killer in Africa
- malaria. Every 30 seconds a child dies of malaria. 90% of
those deaths occur in Africa among children under the age of 5.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to protect these children
from malaria is by giving their families mosquito nets.

Help us save children from suffering and death caused by malaria
- donate just $36.36 and send 6 lifesaving bed nets to children
most in need.

UNICEF is the world's largest provider of insecticide-treated mosquito
nets and a leading organization in the global fight against malaria.

Malaria is one of the leading preventable causes of death in children
under 5. Your gift of 6 lifesaving mosquito nets will help us make an
immediate and direct impact on reducing child mortality rates.

These bed-nets are one component of UNICEF's comprehensive efforts to
stop the spread of malaria, including:

* Distributing anti-malarial medicines;
* Working with governments to make malaria control a priority; and
* Participating in the Roll Back Malaria partnership - a
global coordinated effort between 500 partners to scale up
malaria control.

Please donate $36.36 today - and send lifesaving mosquito nets
to poor children at risk of malaria.

The children in Africa at risk of malaria are just like my children,
like children you know. A child in need is a child in need regardless
of the geographic borders in which they were born. Give these children
a childhood. A hope for a healthy tomorrow. Send them mosquito nets
today.

With gratitude,
