What kind of mosquito nets does the ELCA Malaria Campaign use?
ELCA Malaria Campaign partners use long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets, which retain their insecticidal properties for up to five years or 20 washes. The long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets contain pyrethroid insecticides and are purchased by our partners, in their own countries, from approved and reliable manufacturers. Mosquito nets treated with a pyrethroid insecticide both repel and kill mosquitoes, offering twice as much protection as untreated nets. Insecticide-treated mosquito nets have proven to be a highly effective method for combating malaria.
