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'.

The extreme poverty of the people in the area means they cannot afford nets, even if they were available at subsidized rates.
The under 5's will be the focus of this distribution as they are the most at-risk group due to low immunity.
