WHY NETS?
Nets save lives. Here’s why:
Malaria is a parasitic disease transmitted to humans by female mosquitoes when they bite. Most bites occur between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. while the person victim sleeps. Insecticidal nets kill or repel mosquitoes on contact, sheltering the person(s) from a potentially fatal bite. Typically 2-3 people, and frequently entire families can share one net.
Netting Nations distributes only long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) manufactured by Vestergaard-Frandsen called the PermaNet®. These state-of –the-art nets are impregnated with an odorless and biodegradable insecticide called deltamethrin, and the potency of the nets insecticides last 3-5 years. The PermaNet® net is harmless to humans and the environment, but kills or repel mosquitoes on contact. The long-lasting insecticidal nets require no maintenance or re-dipping in insecticide to maintain potency. These nets represent a HUGE technological breakthrough that are helping win the war on malaria!
Nets are highly valued in African communities. Unfortunately, many people simply cannot afford the $5 to purchase one. That's where Netting Nations comes in!
