Distributed by PSI

Population Services International (PSI) is a not-for-profit organization which has been delivering products and services to improve health and save lives in the fields of malaria and other public health priority areas since the 1970's. Today, PSI is supporting Ministries of Health in 70 countries across the world.

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'.

Distributed by PSI

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.

A distribution sometimes takes place in a number of locations. Each location may have its own pictures and video.

Survey status
