• Canada ’s first citizen driven initiative aimed at saving lives from malaria, one village at a time.
  • Volunteer driven, registered charitable organization.
  • In partnership with community based groups, long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets and anti-malaria medicines are distributed free-of-charge.

The night a net is hung, lives are saved. $7 BUCKS, BUY-A-NET, SAVE A LIFE, IT’S THAT SIMPLE!

 

The price to save lives from malaria with a bed net has increased to $7.00. This increase will allow Buy-A-Net to continue in its life saving work to educate, distribute, monitor and evaluate our very successful malaria prevention process. As a breakdown of the $7.00 bed net the cost of the bed net is $5.00, program delivery (which includes education, distribution, monitoring and evaluation activities) is approximately $1.20, and administration costs (office and staff) are approximately $0.80. You may wish to increase your donation to cover the costs of anti-malaria medicines which is $3.00 per child and $6.00 per adult per treatment, and $1.00 for medicine to protect pregnant women and their unborn child from malaria (known as Intermittent Preventive Treatment). Simply put, if you wish to give $10.00, you will Buy-A-Net and treat a child who has malaria, or Buy-A-Net and protect 3 pregnant women. Thank you for your ongoing support! You and Me; We are Making a Difference!

Sincerely,
Debra Lefebvre, Founder
