Moore, an Ambassador for PSI (Population Services International), is partnering with Nothing But Nets and its UN partners to deliver bed nets to each family in the country who needs one, by the end of this year. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMalaria is preventable, yet it continues to kill nearly one million people every year,\u201d said Mandy Moore, who has seen the effects of malaria in Africa firsthand. \u201cInsecticide-treated bed nets are one of easiest ways to protect families from malaria-carrying mosquitoes. I\u2019m proud to be part of this initiative to send nets and save lives, and am hopeful we can reach this goal for the Central African Republic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nothing But Nets, a global, grassroots campaign to end malaria in Africa, has helped distribute more than 3 million long-lasting, insecticide-treated bed nets in 15 countries across Africa. With the help of Moore and PSI, covering the Central African Republic with bed nets will be a key step toward the global goal of ending malaria deaths by 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople need to know that malaria, a disease that has existed for centuries and killed millions, can be stopped within the next five years,\u201d said Adrianna Logalbo, Director of Nothing But Nets. \u201cMandy Moore\u2019s voice, and the global reach of social media, is helping spread the buzz about the urgency of stopping this preventable disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore has been active in the fight against malaria since she saw its impact firsthand in South Sudan last year, on a trip to distribute nets with PSI\u2014an experience that inspired her to raise awareness to end malaria deaths. &#8220;I\u2019m eager to spread the word about this deadly disease and its simple solution\u2014just $10 to send a life-saving bed net.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>To learn more or make a $10 donation, please visit www.NothingButNets.net.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","related_countries":[],"related_projects":[],"news_category":[],"health-area":[],"capabilities-and-cross-cutting":[],"class_list":["post-3843","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/3843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"related_countries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/related_countries?post=3843"},{"taxonomy":"related_projects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/related_projects?post=3843"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=3843"},{"taxonomy":"health-area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/health-area?post=3843"},{"taxonomy":"capabilities-and-cross-cutting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/capabilities-and-cross-cutting?post=3843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
