Deaths that are Completely Meaningless

Each year, malaria afflicts approximately a half-billion people (roughly the population of the United States, Canada, and Mexico combined).
• Malaria kills more than a million people per year; 90 percent of those who die are African children.
• Every 30 seconds in Africa a child dies of malaria.
• There are 10 new cases of malaria every second.
• Malaria incapacitates people, keeping countries poor. In addition to the health burden, malaria illness and death cost Africa about $12 billion per year.

I found information about malaria and its terrible consequences, when I was looking for where and how can I help the earthquake victims in Haiti. It so astonished me that I could not calm down a long time. Clearly, the population of people die each day from diseases, accidents, from old age, this is natural, we cannot stop it. But when millions of people, and above all children, dying meaningless, simply because the do not receive a basic assistance-it's really SHOCKING! Unlike many serious diseases, malaria is both preventable and treatable, making all deaths from malaria completely unnecessary! For comparison - each day 3,000 people dies from malaria, a Haitian earthquake killed about 200,000. That is- each day takes a small earthquake. We cannot change nature and prevent earthquakes, but we can stop the senseless deaths from malaria, which requires only small for each of our help. Failing African children are the same as see the children playing on the motorway and keep going!
“The whole world is not worthy of the child's tears”- Fiodor Dostoevsky

When I found this incredible information, I thought about it all night and in a morning I found a solution how I can help save children from malaria. I was in the process of creating the site Vitamins and Supplements and decided- £ 1 (what is in average approximately 40% of my income and approximately 60% of my profit) from every purchase made by this site will be transferred to the Nothing But Nets, founded by the United Nations Foundation. Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to raise awareness and funding to combat malaria, one of the largest killers of children in Africa and provides everyone the opportunity to join the global fight against malaria by sending a net and saving a life.
And I call everyone to join my initiative! If not me, then who? If not now, then when? Together, we can cover poor kids with life-saving bed nets!
