We honestly just started out trying to do something we enjoyed doing. We thought we could maybe make some things that we liked and see if other people would like them too. Our name, Free, came from a simple place; we like being clever, we wanted a name that people wouldn't forget, but we also wanted it to mean something, a chance for more.

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.
