A New Game Lets You Send a Net for Free

In honor of World Malaria Day on April 25, the Nothing But Nets organization has developed a video game that you can play on your computer. Once you're done, it sends a bed net to Africa for FREE up until April 25!

Here's the note from Nothing But Nets:

We’ve got another way for you to get in the game and help prevent malaria! All you have to do to help save a life is play, Deliver The Net, a cool new game created by the UN Foundation.

The challenge: race the sun and hand out as many insecticide-treated bed nets as you can to African families. The more nets you deliver before the mosquitoes come out the more lives you save. Once you’re done playing the game, sign up, confirm your email, and a life-saving bed net will be sent on your behalf!

It’s never been easier to send a net and save a life!

Check out the game and challenge your friends to beat your net score up until April 25, World Malaria Day. Play this game and everybody wins.

The game is a little confusing, but I got the hang of after my first time. Plus, it's worth it to send a free net. Check it out and let us know how you do!
