Distributed by Red Cross The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is a network of 183 National Societies worldwide. Our headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland, from where we support members with technical, material, human, and financial support to better respond to emergencies and to major health problems. 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'. more...

About the distribution location Photos and video People who made this possible

Pre-distribution information

The distribution will be in three wards namely, Bveke, Chahwanda, Dotito around the Mt Darwin Hospital area. The area is a malaria prone area of Zimbabwe with hot and wet climate. 60% of deaths in the area are due to malaria.

The distribution of nets will be to our home based clients i.e People living with HIV/ AIDS and to children under 5 years and pregnant women in the communities covered by the project.

The Zimbabwe Red Cross Society will be carrying out the distribution and has structures already in place to do this: we are carrying out HBC and food distribution in the named areas therefore distributions will be integrated into already planned activities and will therefore reach vulnerable people and be efficient.

HBC care facilitators will follow-up on use as they go about their day to day activities.
