It seems that anti-malarial nets are all the charity rage these days – but this is one trend that I genuinely hope will last.

Nets are cheap and effective – an efficient malaria prevention strategy if ever there was one.

And now, Nets for Ninos, one of a number of charity groups that make net distribution their business, is offering an amazing travel opportunity: the chance to personally deliver mosquito nets to families with at-risk infants in the Amazon.

Contact rusty@amazondetours.com for more information, and if you’re not headed to South America any time soon, stop by Nets For Ninos to buy a net!

They cost just $10 each, and they save lives.
