Our approach
 |
A long lasting insecticidal
(mosquito) net (LLIN)
costs US$5
|
-
We only buy LLINs.
-
An LLIN is a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide. The insecticide lasts for 4-5 years. Hence 'long lasting'.
-
LLINs work in 2 ways: a mechanical barrier against malaria-carrying mosquitoes that bite at night; they kill mosquitoes on contact
-
The average cost of an LLIN across all 1,611,033 purchased to date: US$ 4.318

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
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 35 to 40 people protected. Mortality figures indicate this equates to US$100 to 500 saves a life, depending on the circumstances. This ensures maximum efficiency of the funds you raise and donate.
|
 |
...AND we show you where all the nets go, distribution by distribution, with pictures
|
-
Pictures of each distribution
let you see what happened.
