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

This is one of 8 villages receiving between 300 and 1,100 LLINs.

The identified villages are all within endemic, high risk malaria districts with low net coverage. In these villages approximately 50% of all children under 5 have malaria parasites at any given time and malaria is usually the number one cause of illness and death among children. This is entirely preventable.

PSI has worked with local radio stations in these areas to locate active community leaders who are encouraging their people to use nets. The most active leaders have been selected by PSI and the radio stations and their villages are being rewarded with every household receiving a free net.

The radio presenters, PSI personnel and local administartors will distribute the nets to the selected village members once the local chief has provided the list of village household members.

The distributions will achieve blanket coverage of each village and help create a Malaria Free Zone (MFZ).
