What is a Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN)?

An LLIN is a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide.

The insecticide is cleverly bound within the fibres that make up the netting and is 'slow released' over a 4-5 year period. Hence 'long lasting'.

a break in the shade	arriving at another village	people gather	children watch with interest	this is how you do it ...
...your turn now	another satisfied customer	checking the paperwork	yet another talk ...	a shady spot...
...and another	everyone will have to sign...	or make their mark...	with help if needed	...another bed net
safely delivered	nearly done	happy faces.

Pre-distribution information

Ghana is very badly affected by malaria.

Navrongo, in the north, has year-round transmission. On average people receive 418 infective bites per year which is very high.

12,000 nets will be distributed in four related distributions around the Navro-Pungu area achieving blanket coverage of the 22,000+ population before the high transmission season of July to November.
