LLINs

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

Gatumba has a population of 25,000 and is located in a malaria endemic region. 1,500 cases of malaria are reported per month. 90% of children under 2 do not sleep under a bednet. Gatumba does not have a hospital.

The 10,000 LLINs that comprise the Gatumba distribution will ensure blanket coverage of the village in one go. All areas of Gatumba will recieve nets, namely: Kinyana I and II, Rukaramo, Waribondo, Muyange, Mushasha, Gaharawe and Vugizo.

This will be a mass distribution, completed over a period of one week, through collaboration between Community Health Workers (CHWs), community leaders and local administrators. Pre-distribution social mobilisation sessions on net use will be held one week before distribution. Non-announced, post-distribution follow-up will ensure the nets are being used and are correctly hung.
