All are high risk, endemic malaria areas. Recipients were pregnant women, children under 5 and people living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA) who are the must vulnerable to malaria attacks.
A pre-distribution survey ascertained the exact location of beneficiaries. The nets were distributed by Red Cross volunteers as part of their ongoing home-based care (HBC) activities. Community meetings will sensitise all to the importance and proper use of the nets.
