Help End Malaria- Bite Back

Today is World Malaria Day. From Compassion:

"If you think you’re too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito."

Every African knows this is true because mosquitoes carry malaria—a tropical disease that kills over 750,000 children each year. That’s one child every 30 seconds. In Africa, mosquitoes make a huge difference in the lives of poor families and children. And it all starts with a tiny bite.

Malaria begins with a bite. We believe that generation change can end malaria with an even bigger bite. The BITE BACK campaign is mobilizing youth around the country to purchase 300,000 mosquito nets to protect African children from malaria. Let’s be the generation that ends malaria. Let’s BITE BACK and donate now. "



When my family lived in Africa growing up I had malaria a couple of times. It's miserable but like the video said it is treatable and doesn't have to lead to death! Some thing so small to us can make the biggest difference to them!
