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

400 nets will be distributed to children with HIV/AIDS and others with HIV at risk of malaria. Those with HIV/AIDS have weakened immune systems and are more susceptible to contracting malaria.

The distribution will be part of Pro-Link's sustainable health and counselling programs and will include education/prevention about malaria and HIV.

Very vulnerable people will be protected by these nets.
