Nothing But Nets

VH1 is teaming with the charity NothingButNets.net and the first result of the partnership can be see in the video clip above. The PSA above features Best Week Ever cast members Sherrod Small, Chuck Nice and Laurie Kilmartin and aims to raise awareness of the havoc malaria wreaks on people living in Africa. The stats are mind-boggling: Each year, malaria infects approximately 300-500 million people around the world, killing more than one million. Ninety percent of those who die are African children: one child every 30 seconds. But you can help. The clip’s press release details how:

A $10 donation at NothingButNets.net is all it takes to purchase and distribute a bed net and educate the recipient on its proper use. It’s an easy way for concerned individuals to take part in the solution to save lives and get involved in the global fight to combat malaria.

Think about it.
