Malaria No More wasn’t happy with the caption that appeared under this picture in a New York Times article about nonprofits that close because they’ve met their goals.
The caption says: “Scott Case [the group’s vice chair] says Malaria No More is closing because most of the people at  risk of contracting malaria now have bed nets.”
On its blog, Malaria No More says: “A caption claimed that Malaria No More was closing its doors, implying  that this was effective immediately. We are not—and we will not do so  until we reach our goal of ending malaria deaths in Africa.”
