LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Partners and Friends: As we enter the fifth year of the Nothing But Nets campaign, the United Nations Foundation is proud to share the 2010 Nothing But Nets Annual Report with you, the people who have made this campaign a success. Since launching in 2006, Nothing But Nets has raised more than $35 million to distribute more than 4 million bed nets through our United Nations and NGO partners. Whether you joined us five years ago upon reading Rick Reilly’s Sports Illustrated column, or are a new friend and partner to the campaign, we thank you for supporting us to bring an end to malaria deaths once and for all. Malaria is a disease that widely afflicts the poorest, most vulnerable populations: children under the age of five, pregnant women, and displaced people. And until recently, malaria has remained a forgotten disease. Yet over the last several years, with the leadership of the United Nations and in support of the Millennium Development Goals, governments, the private sector, and civil society have come together to tackle this disease in an unprecedented response. It is estimated that international funding for malaria control increased from $200 million in 2004 to $1.8 billion in 2010. This incredible surge is saving lives. In its 2010 World Malaria Report, the World Health Organization notes that nearly 289 million insecticidetreated nets were delivered to families in Africa between 2008 and 2010, enough to cover 76 percent of the 765 million people at risk of malaria in Africa. As a result, malaria rates are declining. Eleven countries have seen more than a 50 percent reduction in malaria cases and deaths.
Nothing But Nets, our partners, supporters, and Champions have played a critical role in this success. Our diverse partnerships, bringing together sports teams, faith communities, young people, and corporations, is reaching millions of people every year with a simple invitation: join the movement to end malaria deaths in Africa. In 2010, the campaign reached new heights, bringing the issue of malaria and the solution of a bed net to more communities than ever before. Together we have built the movement to end malaria, and we cannot stop now. While the strategies are working, we must maintain this momentum that has been building in recent years. It will not be enough to protect a family with a bed net one time. We must ensure bed nets continue to be distributed and utilized to keep coverage rates high and prevent backsliding on the progress we have made. The United Nations Foundation is committed to supporting the United Nations goal of reaching near-zero deaths by 2015. We hope you will join us as we enter the “last mile” of this effort. On behalf of the Nothing But Nets team, thank you for your ongoing commitment to ending malaria. With Best Wishes,
Timothy E. Wirth President, United Nations Foundation

MALARIA KILLS NETS SAVE LIVES Every 45 seconds, a child dies of malaria, and each year, there are more than 200 million cases of the disease. Malaria spreads simply. One
mosquito bite is all it takes.
But we can stop malaria from spreading. An inexpensive, insecticide-treated bed net keeps mosquitoes from biting at night, and even kills them before they can fly on to the next person. Bed nets can prevent the spread of malaria by up to 90
percent.
In 2006, the UN Foundation launched the Nothing But Nets campaign so anyone could send a net and save a life with just $10. Since we started, hundreds of thousands of people have joined the movement to end malaria. Together, we’ve raised millions of dollars, delivered millions of nets, and saved
millions of lives.
In December 2010, the World Health Organization announced that enough nets have been delivered to cover 76 percent of the people at risk for malaria. 11 African countries have seen
malaria rates drop by more than 50
percent since 2008. That good news came at the end of a milestone year. By the end of 2010, donations to Nothing But Nets topped $35 million, and we had delivered more than 4 million nets to families across Africa with our UN and NGO partners.

NOTHING BUT NETS BUILDS A MOVEMENT TO END MALARIA In 2010, we traveled to Senegal with NBA athletes, coaches, and Legends, and to the Central African Republic with singer-songwriter, and actress Mandy Moore. We visited old friends and met new ones on our country-wide “Buzz Tour”—and then made even more at our Malaria Town Hall on Facebook.
Working with you and our UN part-
ners, we ended the year by delivering a net to every family in the Central African Republic, one of the poorest countries in Africa. We also
connected with people all over the world committed to the fight
against malaria. We joined thousands of supporters here and abroad to sleep outside under nets on World Malaria Day. We shot hoops together at the NBA All-Star game in Dallas. We scored with soccer fans at Major League Soccer games from Kansas City to Toronto, New York City to Denver.
We performed skits with students in Seattle, met with policymakers in Washington, DC, hiked with Boy Scouts in Colorado, and cheered on the World Cup Finals in Houston. And we heard your stories: We heard about the birthday and bar-mitzvah gifts you passed on to Nothing But Nets. We heard about the parties you held, the emails you sent, the cookies you baked, the speeches you gave, the meetings you hosted—all to send more life-saving nets. When you look through this annual report, you will see pictures of healthy families, and children sleeping peacefully under their nets. You helped make that possible. We ended 2010 proud of these accomplishments, grateful to have met so many generous, committed supporters like you, and
determined to keep ďŹ ghting ma-
laria, one net at a time.

NBA ALL-STAR: SINK A NET. SEND A NET. SAVE A LIFE. We closed out 2009 with an award-winning fundraising drive with our partner, NBA Cares. And to start 2010, we teamed up again for NBA All-Star Weekend in Dallas. NBA
Cares donated $10 for anyone who made a basket at the Nothing But Nets basketball hoop set up during the All-Star’s Jam Session. The Nothing But Nets hoop was a fan-favorite. Students and superstars alike stopped by to take shots against malaria. Everyone gave it their best. And their best was incredible. Fans of all ages sank over 2,500 life-saving shots—that’s
2,500 nets headed for Africa.

BUZZ TOUR HITS THE ROAD TO RAISE AWARENESS In 2010, Nothing But Nets teamed up with Major League Soccer and other partners to “unite against malaria” in the lead up to the 2010 World Cup—the first-ever held in Africa, where 90
percent of malaria deaths occur. With support from the Bill & Me-
linda Gates Foundation, the United Against Malaria partnership helped us launch the
Nothing But Nets “Buzz Tour,” to drive toward the goal of ending malaria deaths in Africa. We rolled into
29 cities across the country to raise awareness about malaria
prevention and drive people to join the movement to end malaria. We revved up supporters from coast to coast in our bright orange and blue bus, which was actually pretty green—an eco-friendly converted school bus that ran on waste vegetable oil and biodiesel. Working with our local partners we met business leaders, city officials, faith leaders, students, athletes, and sports fans to spread the buzz that nets save lives.

20,000 bed nets to families in Senegal. Senegal is home to Nothing But Nets Champion and Charlotte Bobcats player DeSagana Diop—who was thrilled to join NBA Cares in handing out life-saving nets in his hometown. By his side were NBA Legend Dikembe Mutombo, along with players Ronny Turiaf of the New York Knicks, Danilo Gallinari of the Denver Nuggets, and WNBA Legend Tamika Raymond. We met with local officials, mothers, and children, who invited us into their homes where we, and our conveniently tall friends, helped hang the nets over their beds. We delivered the ďŹ rst of

“MOORE” NETS TO SAVE MORE LIVES In the Central African Republic, constant heavy rains leave standing water, ideal breeding grounds for malaria-carrying mosquitoes. This and other factors have made malaria the leading killer of children
under five years old in the country.
In 2010, the UN identified an
urgent need for nets in the Central African Republic.
You helped us respond immediately. We teamed up with PSI (Population Services International) and UNICEF, and together we sent a bed net to every family in the Central African Republic in less than six months. We started by spreading the word about this need on the world’s first-ever Malaria Town Hall on Facebook. Actress, singer-songwriter, and PSI ambassador Mandy Moore, along with malaria experts from the UN Foundation and PSI, chatted live on Facebook, fielding your questions about malaria and the need for nets in the Central African Republic. In September, we visited the Central African Republic with Mandy and PSI to talk to families, local and UN officials, and community health workers, to report back to you. We sat with mothers like Pauline, a mother of ten who had just lost two of her children to malaria, and felt her joy when she received the bed net that will help her family sleep safely. When we returned, we shared the stories of Pauline and other families, and you stepped up to help out. By December, our partners on the ground in the Central African Republic including PSI, WHO, UNICEF, and the Ministry of Health, delivered nearly
nets—one to every family in the country.

CAMPAIGN PARTNERS The United Nations Foundation Dedicated to connecting people, ideas, and resources to help the UN solve global issues. As the home of Nothing But Nets, the UN Foundation continues to provide staff, resources, and creativity to run the premier grassroots campaign to end malaria deaths. The National Basketball Association’s NBA Cares Helped launch the campaign as a founding partner in 2006. Building off of the 2009 holiday season where Nothing But Nets donors received two free tickets to an NBA game, NBA Cares continued to raise awareness about malaria in Dallas at NBA All-Star, and in Senegal by distributing life-saving nets with NBA players, coaches, and Legends. The people of The United Methodist Church Joined Nothing But Nets as a founding partner in 2006 eager to join the movement to end malaria. Continued to spread the buzz across the country and raised nearly $1 million for life-saving bed nets in 2010. On World Malaria Day, The United Methodist Church also launched the Imagine No Malaria campaign to raise $75 million to eliminate malaria deaths by 2015. Orkin, Inc. Traveled with Nothing But Nets to Gambella, Ethiopia to see the impact of malaria and life-saving bed nets first-hand. Along the “Buzz Tour,” Orkin employees came out to “fight the bite” of the mosquito. Orkin also continued to engage its 8,000 employees and donated a bed net for every mosquito service purchased by consumers, raising $225,000 for life-saving nets. Major League Soccer’s MLS W.O.R.K.S. Engaged MLS clubs, players, and fans across the country to join the fight against malaria in the lead-up to the 2010 World Cup. MLS clubs hosted friendly competitions to see which club could invite the most fans to “join the winning team” by showing their support to prevent malaria. The Seattle Sounders also created a Drew Carey bobble-head as an incentive for fans to get involved.
Boy Scouts of America Launched a partnership around its 100-year anniversary to educate Scouts about life-saving bed nets. Malaria education popped up in all 40 cities along their Adventure Base 100 road tour, was featured at the BSA National Jamboree, and received quite the buzz on Facebook through a malaria trivia competition. Junior Chamber International Mobilized its members in 115 countries to raise nearly $125,000 for life-saving bed nets. JCI members dedicated their birthdays to Nothing But Nets and competed to see which country could raise the most money by JCI World Congress—JCI Japan won! Union for Reform Judaism Continued to spread the buzz even after reaching its goal of sending 50,000 life-saving bed nets to Africa. Youth around the country devoted their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs to sending nets and saving lives. These young leaders prove that this generation has the power to end malaria. Usher’s New Look Foundation Empowered youth to use their talents and passion to raise awareness for Nothing But Nets. Youth-led projects ranged from African dance shows in Los Angeles to entrepreneurial salesmanship in New York. LUTHERAN MALARIA INITIATIVE Piloted a new partnership with Nothing But Nets during the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod Youth Gathering in New Orleans, where 25,000 eager young people learned about malaria and their role in ending this disease. A group decided to immediately embrace the cause by exchanging hugs for a life-saving donation. American Idol Joined the movement to end malaria by inviting the “Buzz Tour” to travel with the American Idol Live Tour 2010. American Idols spread the buzz through a public service announcement encouraging fans to text-to-give to Nothing But Nets. PSI (Population Services International) Teamed up with Ambassador Mandy Moore and Nothing But Nets to send a life-saving bed net to every family across the Central African Republic. In October, PSI traveled with Nothing But Nets to the Central African Republic to ensure that even the hardest to reach families received their life-saving nets.

OUR EVERYDAY HEROES We wish we could name everyone who has sent a life-saving net, visited us on the “Buzz Tour,” shared information with their friends about malaria, raised funds with bake sales, parties, meetups, hoedowns, or online chats, and shared personal stories and ideas. You inspire us with your daily devotion to saving lives and stamping out malaria. And while we don’t have room to give each of you the recognition you deserve, we want to introduce you to a
few of our everyday heroes, whose examples stand for the
work so many of you do.
Elisabeth Clymer, Virginia When 14-year-old Elisabeth Clymer’s civics teacher assigned her a project on global problems, she didn’t hit the books—she hit the pool. She organized her friends into a Swat Team, reached out to the local Orkin branch, and hosted a swim-a-thon to raise more than $7,000 for Nothing But Nets.
Nathaniel Stafford, North Carolina The Boy Scouts’ 100th anniversary inspired 12-year-old Nathaniel Stafford to go the extra mile for Nothing But Nets. In the middle of winter, he hiked 100 miles through five North Carolina counties to raise awareness about malaria. So far, he has raised more than $5,000 and aims to keep walking until he has enough to send 1,000 nets to Africa.
THOUSANDS OF HEROES TEN DOLLARS. ONE NET. ZERO DEATHS BY 2015.
Johna Rivers, California Johna Rivers learned about malaria at Usher’s Camp New Look in 2009. Since then, this 17-year-old has made it her personal mission to spread the buzz in her Los Angeles community through African dance. In December, she hosted an event with the LA Clippers to raise awareness about malaria through dance, graffiti, photography, and other artistic expressions.
Patricia Mahoney, Massachusetts When seventh-grade health teacher Patricia Mahoney began teaching her students in Massachusetts about malaria, she could never have imagined how eager they’d be to be a part of the solution. Patricia went further than presenting the facts: she empowered her students to become leaders in the fight against malaria. Through a series of fundraising events, from car washes to bake sales, the students have raised more than $18,000.
Kevin Vernimb, New Jersey Since he was just 12 years old, Kevin Vernimb has been one of Noth-
ing But Nets’ most passionate and creative supporters. Kevin has used multiple strategies to send life-saving nets—presentations to his peers and parents’ friends, basketball tournaments, poetry, and selling golf balls. At 17 years old, Kevin has raised more than $16,000, and has set a goal of $20,000 before starting college.
Alexandra Taylor, New York Young designer Alexandra Taylor has managed to bring her passion for fashion and saving lives together beautifully with the “Alexandra Taylor for Nothing But Nets” line of net-inspired scarves that have made a splash at New York Fashion Week and across the country. Alexandra is donating $10 from the purchase of each scarf to send a life-saving net.

THE MOVEMENT TO END MALARIA In 2010, with you, we continued to spread life-saving nets across Africa. More families slept safely. More children lived to see another year. In 2010, we shared with millions of people information about how a simple net can protect a family, a village, a nation, and a continent from malaria. In 2010, you
raised money, $10 at a time, to cover Africa, net by net. In 2010, we learned from the World Health Organization that our efforts are paying off : malaria rates are continuing to drop because nets are saving lives. In 2009, a child in Africa died every 30 seconds from a malaria infection. Today, a child in Africa dies every 45 seconds from a malaria infection.
In 2010, we pushed the clock back 15 seconds. That’s good news. But malaria is a preventable disease, and $10 for a net is all it takes. That means we can look forward to a year when we can smash the clock. We can look forward to a year when no child will die from malaria. As we say goodbye to 2010, we look forward to the Nothing But Nets ďŹ ve-year anniversary and our sustainability strategy towards 2015 when, with your continued commitment and energy, we will wipe out malaria in Africa.
