Kellybeth will have a table at the Ten Thousand Nets Art Show this Saturday August 14th from 10am-7pm. Come out and support the Ten Thousand Nets Campaign. I will have my jewelry line, I hear the DR Bag line, and some photo prints from my trip to the DR!
Ten Thousand Nets is a Denver based campaign designed to focus on the eradication of malaria deaths by raising awareness, raising funds for bed nets, providing education to the city of Denver about malaria, and creating a connection to our partners, The ONE Campaign, Malaria No More, and The Church in Denver.
what are the effects of malaria?
- An estimated 1,000,000 people die each year from malaria.
- 90% of malaria deaths are in Sub-Saharan Africa, and 75% of those deaths are children.
- Malaria kills one child every 30 seconds, which means one child will die while as you read this document.
- On the continent of Africa alone over $12,000,000,000 is spent every year on malaria.
- Because so much money is spent combating malaria many African nations experience only a slight rise in their annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) every year.
See you Saturday!
