Fashion Gives Back | Glamour and Malaria No More Partner To Save Lives
October 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Every woman loves to shop, at least a little bit. I know I do. And when I read that Glamour Magazine has partnered with five designers to produce t-shirts benefiting Malaria No More, I thought cha-ching! What better way to spend my money, than that of saving lives and looking good at the same time?
These shirts are simple, yet adorable, and they serve an amazing purpose as well.
Each year, more than 1,000,000 children in Africa die from malaria; from a simple mosquito bite. ONE MILLION! Think of how many bug bites your children received this past summer. Now imagine just ONE of those bites had the potential to kill them. Its terrifying and absolutely horrific.
Buying one of these designer t-shirts ensures that Glamour and Malaria No More will donate three insecticide-treated bed nets to three seperate families in areas with the most need.
Just one net WILL protect a mother and her children while they sleep at night.
Just one net WILL save a mother an immense amount of worry.
Just one net WILL save a child’s life.
You do the math. One t-shirt + One cause = Three families protected.
This feels like a no-brain-er to me.
