Malaria No More’s Stayin’ Alive program encourages students to make a difference on a global scale…and all they have to do is dance! Every day, 3,000 children die of malaria—but a simple $10 bed net can help to protect them from mosquitoes that transmit the infection. Host a Stayin’ Alive dance or make it part of the upcoming Valentine’s Day, Spring Fling or Prom season. Donate a portion of the proceeds, raise awareness and save lives.

We raise money to purchase mosquito nets in Uganda. These nets reduce those affected by malaria and save many lives. Malaria affects between 300 and 600 million people each year. That is more than tuberculosis, AIDS, measles, and leprosy combined. Of that, 3,000 children die of malaria everyday, one child every 30 seconds.
Uganda has the most reported cases of malaria of all countries. 93% of Uganda's population is at risk for malaria. 30% of Ugandan children under 5 die of malaria each year.
