The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine has found that pregnant women who live in areas where malaria is endemic and sleep under insecticide treated bed nets are 1/3 less likely to suffer miscarriages or stillbirths. And the number of low birth weight babies was reduced by about 25%.

Malaria kills about a million people a year; 90% of them are in Africa, and most of them are children.

Even though insecticide treated bednets have a huge impact on the health of young children and pregnant women, and even though they only cost $4-5, they're too expensive for many families to buy.

You can buy/donate bed nets through the Against Malaria website.
