Malaria is a deadly disease and is one of the world’s biggest killers. Right now, all over the world, UNICEF staff are helping to provide life saving insecticide-treated mosquito nets to pregnant women and children. These photos show just some of the children whose lives we have touched, thanks to our supporters.
