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'.

Bandafassi, Senegal  

Nets: 1,000 LLINs
When: Jun-Jul 07
Distributed by  NetLife Africa    NetLife Africa


The nets will be distributed in 15-20 villages around Bandafassi in the Kedougou health district. Recipients will be principally pregnant women and mothers with children under 5.

This is a high risk malaria area. All the villages lack health care resources and access to curative measures for malaria is very difficult meaning prevention of malaria is so important here.
