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'.

Distribution
20,000 nets will be distributed in a series of related distributions to achieve blanket (universal) coverage of all sleeping spaces in Mpinga-Kayove Commune in Rutana Province. Approximately 40,000 people will be protected by these nets.
Universal coverage has been shown to cause a dramatic reduction in the malaria-carrying mosquito population as the mosquito dies if it is unable to get a blood meal every 10 days.
When net usage is combined with other anti-malaria activities, such as removing stagnant water where mosquitoes breed, the impact on the health of the protected community can be dramatic.
