Through the support of individual donors, Victor Ciardelli and Phillip Sylvester, TBI will carry out a project for distributing long lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets (LLINs) to  pregnant mothers and children under five in July. Unlike conventional treated nets, LLINs do not require re-treatment and have a longer average lifespan of 3-5 years. Malaria being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Illeret, we are very grateful for the generosity of the donors and assistance provided by Radbone-Clark, the supplier of the nets.
