Usher is teaming up with the United Nations to fight malaria in Africa.
The R&B star along with the U.N. have launched the ‘Nothing But Nets’ campaign, which encourages younger people to be more pro-active and make a difference in global issues.
The initiative aims to raise money to prevent children in Africa from contracting malaria by providing more mosquito nets. Its a project that Usher feels is very important.
“I am proud to be a part of an exciting partnership with the United Nations Foundation and its Nothing But Nets campaign. This initiative sends an important message: youth, regardless of their backgrounds, can make a difference in this world by taking action through service to save lives. Anyone can make a difference. All it takes is $10 to send a net and save a life.”
Usher follows in the footsteps of Jay-Z who also worked with the United Nations for ‘The Water For Life’ campaign.
