Debra Lefebvre, a Canadian Registered Nurse and mother of four young children, travelled to Uganda in 2004. Debra witnessed the senseless loss of life and poverty caused by malaria, a disease spread through the bite of an infected female anopheles mosquito. Debra decided to take action. That year, Debra launched Buy-a-Net Malaria Prevention Group. Buy-a-Net's first net distribution occurred in the spring of 2006, in the village of Katoogo in Uganda.
