Distributed by Baraka Community Partnership

Baraka Community Partnership
Baraka Community Partnerships (BCP) is a British charitable foundation set up in 2007 by a few private sponsors. Our focus is on assisting a few small, impoverished communities at a time to give themselves a better life. Our approach is one of collaboration with the communities we work with and our ultimate goal is long-term sustainability and self-sufficiency through education, healthcare, environmental protection and support of small businesses.

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'.

Chikumbi District which is located about 30 miles north of Lusaka.

The villages are:
Nkaba, Chiewa, Katuba, Kasalu, Chimbetue, Ngobola, Kakuku, Mwachilwana, Manenekela, Molando, Lumina and Mwambi.

Malaria illnesses and deaths are common. Anecdotal evidence suggests that every person in the village is affected at least once a year by malaria. Deaths are common due to lack of medical provision and drugs.

This distribution aims to blanket cover the entire district. There are approximately 7,000 sleeping spaces in the villages.
