50 mosquito nets.
Every installation.
For every solar system installed through us, we fund 50 life-saving mosquito nets through our partner charity Against Malaria Foundation.

Malaria still takes hundreds of thousands of lives each year. Young children are especially vulnerable.
One mosquito bite can change a family’s life. That is why prevention matters.
Why We Chose Mosquito Nets
Thinking about a child burning with fever is heavy. It’s uncomfortable.
Most of us would rather not picture it. But that discomfort matters.
Because the problem is real. And the solution is simple.
We chose mosquito nets because they save lives more effectively than almost anything else on earth for cost.
Per dollar spent, few interventions reduce human suffering more than preventing malaria with treated nets.
It isn’t glamorous. It doesn’t photograph like a new building or a ribbon cutting.
It’s a thin mesh over a bed.
But that thin mesh stops the bite. No bite stops the fever.
No fever stops the death.
That is impact.
Close your eyes for a moment.
Imagine you are six years old.
You wake up hot. Your head hurts. Your body aches.
By the afternoon, the fever climbs. You feel dizzy. The room spins.
By night, you are shaking. You cannot think clearly.
Your mother is holding you. Your father is scared.
The fever gets worse. And worse. And worse.
Now stop. Picture a different ending.
The same child. The same home. The same night.
But above the bed hangs one simple mosquito net.
A mosquito net helps prevent the bite. Insecticide-treated nets are one of the World Health Organization’s core tools for malaria prevention.
That child wakes up the next day.
They run outside.
They play.
They laugh.
They go to school.
They learn to read.
They kick a ball with friends.
They listen to beautiful music.
They grow taller each year.
They become a teenager.
They fall in love.
They choose a path.
They build something.
They serve their community.
They raise a family.
They grow old. They grow wise.
They get to live.
All because of one net.
A thin mesh barrier between a child and a dangerous disease.
These nets help families sleep protected from malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
Young children are especially vulnerable, and protection remains important as they grow.
You are helping complex, wondrous and beautiful lives, emerge and exist, that otherwise never would have.
Thank you.
GSQ’s commitment: 50 mosquito nets funded per completed solar installation. The life story above illustrates the possibilities that malaria prevention helps protect.
