Chien-Chi Chang/Magnum on Malaria Before bed nets are distributed, demonstrations are performed to show recipients how to hang them. Everyone who comes learns what malaria is and the importance of using bed nets to prevent mosquito bites—an integral part of the distribution strategy. Health workers read from a list of pre-registered families. 13,600 bed nets were handed out today in 12 different locations. This distribution is part of a nationwide strategy to provide bed nets to pregnant mothers and families with children under the age of 5. By the end of May 580,000 bed nets in total will be handed out throughout the country. Donate money for bed nets as part of the Magnum on Malaria/Malaria No More partnership.
