This year 10% of our proceeds will go to the Against Malaria Foundation.
Why Malaria? - "Malaria is one of the biggest disease killers in the world. It kills at least 1.5 million people every year. 70% of the deaths are children under 5. That's equivalent to one child dying of malaria in Africa every 30 seconds, or 7 jumbo jets full of children disappearing from malaria every day. We can make an enormous difference with the money we raise. For every 1 million (US$1.75m) we raise we will stop 15,000 people from dying. We can do this very simply: through the purchase and distribution of bednets (mosquito nets)." (Info from the Against Malaria website)
In addition we're excited to offer this special deal to help give back to the community!
