Sleeping with a mosquito net is the single best way to prevent the spread of malaria. They cost pennies to make, but for some families the net is considered a luxury they just cannot afford.

On average 350 – 500 million new cases of malaria are reported each year. Of those 1 million will die. The majority of deaths occur in the sub-Sahara region in Africa.

Watch the commercial after the jump…
