Vestegaard Frandsen has created some other remarkable technologies to help with the Millennium Development Goals. Malaria, a potentially deadly disease caused by mosquitoes, is still a major concern in many areas around the world. For example, according to the CDC, in Africa, a child dies from malaria every 30 seconds. Vestegaard Frandsen's other technologies, PermaNet® and ZeroFly® both work to combat the incidence of Malaria.

PermaNet is polyester bed netting that protects you from mosquitoes while you're sleeping. It is both affordable and practical. The netting is treated with a long lasting insecticide that lasts up to 20 washes.

ZeroFly is plastic sheeting that has been treated with an insecticide. The sheeting can be used in emergency situations to create tents. Not only does the sheeting act as much needed shelter, but because of the insecticide, it also works to prevent malaria.
