This disease is completely preventable and treatable, yet it kills approximately 2,000 children around the world every day. Malaria is one of the leading causes of child deaths in the world. Today 3 billion people worldwide are still threatened by the disease.
Before 1946 this was a huge issue for Americans. Then the U.S. created the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. They were put in charge of eliminating malaria. It took just 5 years for them to accomplish their goal.
We know how to prevent it. We just need to step up and do it. $6 dollars of every shirt that I sell goes to purchase one treated bed net that will save at least 2 lives. These bed nets cost about the same price as combo meals at fast food restaurants or even large coffee drinks at coffee houses. We can help end this disease by simply changing one purchase from our daily lives. Will you join me?
