Malaria gets ‘ugly’ on hit US comedy show – UN
“Our storyline resonated with every member of our cast and crew.”
- Richard Heusfrom, executive director.
A United Nations-backed campaign to raise awareness about malaria --which claims over 1 million lives annually -- has a starring role on the season premiere of the hit United States television comedy, “Ugly Betty.”
Under that campaign, the UN Foundation (UNF) seeks to curb the spread of malaria by providing insecticide-treated bed nets, each costing $10, to communities in greatest need.
