Ah, that's why GiveWell rates mosquito netting so high. To think I could save a child with a thousand dollars.

Not to be too nit-picky, but a thousand dollars would help or save many children, not just one. $20 will get you a mosquito net on Amazon.

Ah but not each child will die. GiveWell estimates that one grand roughly to spend enough netting to transform one dead child into a live child.
