Why HappyCamper?

Bed nets are the #1 weapon in the war against malaria.  Bed nets break the malaria transmission cycle by preventing infected mosquitos from biting new people.

Billions of dollars have been donated in the past 20 years to distribute nearly 600 million bed nets in malaria-infested countries.

But the current bed net design is more than 80 years old — and nearly impossible to use!  Most are discarded within a few months or repurposed into fishing nets, tablecloths, ties for animals, etc.

NGOs, donors, and the World Health Organization still defend the current design, but donations fall every year for a reason: people know the product does not work.

Happy Camper’s mission is to raise awareness for an improved design. Our patented bed net has 14 significant advantages over the current design.  It is simpler to use, faster to assemble, easier to store, harder to destroy, smaller to transport, lighter to carry and more.

Happy Camper’s bed net uses the identical slow-release insecticide mesh fabric as the current bed net.  Our design is produced by the largest bed net maker in the world.

We need to test our new product.  Field tests will either prove the new design is 1) better or 2) worse at protecting against malaria.  Only in-the-field accredited evaluation can inform us.

If these tests are successful, donors will be hard-pressed to not implement what I believe is a vastly improved weapon in the war against malaria.

I've designed tents for 25+ years and have several patents in this field.  Please contribute if you agree with me the new Happy Camper bed net is worth a field test.  We need a better weapon in the war against malaria.
