I’d like to offer you 10 Reasons to Gift a Net through the United Nations Foundation‘s Nothing But Nets campaign to make your holiday shopping easy and affordable:
- Because nets work. Malaria deaths are down 45% since 2000!
- Because a bed net lasts longer (up to three years) than fruit-of-the-month, but your friend will actually appreciate the gesture.
- Because our UN partners are extremely efficient at distributing the bed nets to those who need them most, like refugees.
Convinced already? GREAT! Gift a Net today!
- Because a $10 bed net is more meaningful than a $10 gift card.
- Because you want to make a difference in the world and so does Aunt Berta.
- Because the card we’ll send to your friends and family is beautiful and has a little piece of a sample bed net.
- Because the card explains to your mom how an insecticide-treated bed net saves lives (so you don’t have to).
It really is a great gift! Please Gift a Net right now!
- Because it’s the most thoughtful gift your family and friends will receive this year.
- Because helping those in need is what the holidays are all about.
- Because it can save a life (Is there a better reason?)
How could you pass that up?
You can’t. Partner with Nothing But Nets and Gift a Net for everyone on your holiday list.
Here’s all you have to do:
- Choose the gift amount that is right for you. Each gift starts at just $10.
- Select the print or e-card that you want to send to your special gift recipient telling him or her about your thoughtful choice.
- Sit back and enjoy the holiday season.
It’s just that easy.
Start a new holiday tradition this year. Give gifts that give back and save lives. Gift a Net.
Sincerely, 
Chris Helfrich Director Nothing But Nets

CARE recently joined with ABC News and the United Nations Foundation in the Million Moms Challenge. This unique initiative engages millions of Americans with moms in poor countries around the world to connect — and act — on important issues, such as pregnancy, childbirth and children’s health.
Tonight, please tune in to ABC at 10:00 p.m. ET for a special edition of 20/20, “Making Life: A Risky Proposition.” Diane Sawyer will host an eye-opening report that sheds light on the challenges mothers face in developing countries. ABC talked to some of the women and girls CARE works with in Afghanistan, where we employ low-cost, low-tech solutions that can help save millions of lives.
We encourage you to share this e-mail with your friends on Facebook and Twitter or forward it to your friends. The more people we engage on this issue, the stronger our impact will be in helping mothers and their babies survive — and thrive.
Sincerely,
Helene D. Gayle, MD, MPH President and CEO, CARE
