Jordin Sparks National Geographic Kids teamed up with Jordin Sparks and Malaria No More to help save kids' lives in Africa. Last fall we asked readers to donate to the "Be a Star, Save a Life" campaign through the group Malaria No More, and thousands of you joined the effort. Kids all over the country donated funds to purchase bed nets to protect African children from mosquitoes which carry a deadly disease called malaria.
