Did you know that Malaria kills a child every two minutes, and yet it is a preventable, treatable disease if communities are provided with proper bed nets and treatment? For simply $10, we can provide a net to save a life.
Athletes for Hope is partnering with Nothing But Nets and Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry to help fight Malaria, and we are calling on each of our AFH athletes to join us in one or both of the activities below.
