Our approach

$5 A long lasting insecticidal
(mosquito) net (LLIN)
costs US$5


  • We only buy LLINs.
     
  • An LLIN is a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide. The insecticide lasts for 4-5 years. Hence 'long lasting'.
     
  • LLINs work in 2 ways: a mechanical barrier against malaria-carrying mosquitoes that bite at night; they kill mosquitoes on contact
     
100% None of your money goes on
admin, salaries, expenses etc. Just nets...


  • We can do this because we have very few costs and those that do exist are covered by a group of private donors.
     
  • Many companies have offered their services for free. This includes lawyers, accountants, printers, bankers, advertising agencies, film makers, professional translators, web technologists and graphic designers amongst others. A full list can be found on the People to Thank page.
     
  • We are completely transparent with funds raised. You know where your money is going.
     
 ...AND we ensure the nets<br />are put over<br />heads and beds<br /> ...AND we ensure the nets
are put over
heads and beds


  • Our distribution partners pay all distribution and education costs.
     
  • Given 100% of funds buy nets at US$5 each, this means every US$100 we raise equals 20 nets in place and saves the life of one child. This ensures maximum efficiency of the funds you raise and donate.
