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'.

Pre-distribution information

An orphange, a school and a hospital on the outskirts of Kampala, all suffering badly from mosquitoes and malaria, are in desparate need of nets. 100 nets will be distributed to ensure all beds in the Nagalama hospital are covered, all beds in the Kikusa orphange are covered and children at the Kiro Kabowa Children's Centre receive nets.
