Washington, DC (PRWEB) June 06, 2014 -- For the second year in a row, the Junior Chamber International (JCI USA), is partnering with the United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets campaign, kicking off a multicity “BzzzTour” today to encourage elected officials, JCI chapters, and communities nationwide to continue the fight against malaria. The tour will visit more than 100 JCI chapters across 20 states, making six major stops in Nashville, Des Moines, St. Louis, Seattle, Houston, and Washington, D.C.

JCI leaders across the country are joining Nothing But Nets in taking a stand to help protect families from malaria.

Post this

Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to raise awareness, funds and voices in the fight against malaria, which kills a child every 60 seconds. Together with its UN partners, the Nothing But Nets campaign has delivered more than 7 million bed nets across sub-Saharan Africa since 2006.

“JCI leaders across the country are joining Nothing But Nets in taking a stand to help protect families from malaria,” said JCI Immediate Past President Chrystal Ramsay-Dyess. “We are traveling from city to city, raising funds, increasing awareness about malaria, and encouraging communities to advocate for strong U.S. leadership and funding for malaria programs,” said Ramsay-Dyess.

For 3 months, Nothing But Nets and the US Jaycees will educate and engage citizens in the fight against this deadly disease. Track the “BzzzTour” at http://www.usjaycees.org and the fight against malaria by contacting your members of Congress in support of robust funding for the President’s Malaria Initiative and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and donating $10 to send a net and help save a life.

Malaria is a deadly disease, transmitted by a single mosquito bite. Malaria kills more than 600,000 people worldwide every year and is a leading killer of children under five in Africa. But bed nets provide a simple, cost-effective solution and can reduce the spread of malaria. For more information, visit http://www.NothingButNets.net.

About Nothing But Nets
Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in sub-Saharan Africa. Inspired by sports columnist Rick Reilly, hundreds of thousands of people have joined the campaign that was created by the United Nations Foundation in 2006. Since then, Nothing But Nets has raised more than $50 million to deliver more than 7.25 million bed nets to families in need. Campaign partners include the National Basketball Association’s NBA Cares, Junior Chamber International, and Major League Soccer’s MLS W.O.R.K.S. It costs $10 to purchase and deliver an insecticide-treated bed net, provide education on its proper use, and provide other malaria reduction interventions that can prevent this deadly disease.
