Presbyterian Women has been the driving force behind the NetWorkers Malaria Prevention Project, providing life-saving mosquito nets to African families threatened by malaria. Individuals and PW circles from across the United States have participated in this project-PW in Waterloo, Iowa sewed mosquito nets; PW in St. Simon's Island, Georgia educated their congregation about malaria; PW in Watertown, New York sent special NetWorkers Mother Day cards to their loved ones.

Pregnant women are four times as likely to contract malaria and twice as likely to die from it.
