Earlier this year, in addition to free licenses, we started donating one euro to a good cause for every license purchased. You can match our donation at checkout and many of you did, for which we are very grateful. Over the past few months we have been able to make some substantial donations.
As there are so many worthy causes to support, today we have changed the beneficiary of our donations: From now on we will donate to the Against Malaria Foundation , which helps to protect people from malaria, especially in Africa, but also elsewhere in the world, by funding long-lasting insecticidal nets. Malaria remains a humanitarian issue. Every year, it kills around 625,000 people and affects more than 240 million, 70% of whom are children under the age of five. However, malaria is preventable and bed nets have already reduced the number of cases to less than a third.
For every Kirby license sale where we donate one euro and you match it with one euro, one net can already be purchased. We would be very grateful if you would continue to contribute with us. Check out the Foundation’s work: https://www.againstmalaria.com/
