TASK 3: PROVISION OF MOSQUITO NETS TO THE POOR FAMILIES

We are determined to secure some mosquito nets for the poor families of Kyabakadde village. This village is found in Kikwanya parish, kangulumira sub-county, Kayunga District (Uganda).
We have not at all supported the poor families of kyabakadde village with mosquito nets in spite of their expressing their request to be helped. Besides we see so many of them visiting the local government health center for treatment of malaria that their number I over whelming. Therefore, we can deduce from the observation that the need for mosquito nets is huge.
It can be justifiably stated that the people of kyabakadde village should be provided with mosquito nets to check against infant mortality rate as well as morbidity f the same. Even death of pregnant mothers and the elderly people on account of malaria can be avoided if they also used the mosquito bed nets. We need about 1,000 treated mosquito nets so we can give them out to the poor families of kyabakadde village.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Neighbors from the nabuur volunteering community can provide both technical and financial advice based on the task, we require our neighbors on nabuur, to share with us, their opinions and give viable solutions to this. We welcome all!!

Honored Kyabakadde neighbours,
please it is possible to use alternative resources for children's protection that are locally available - cloths, plastic folios etc. to make shelters. Please another option is to prepare the repelents from natural sources - herbs and plants, please see next advices for home-made nets and repelents:

Hello Christie,
We have not yet secured the mosquito nets for the vulnerable children. The much we have done is to sensitize the caregivers of these kids to buy the above mentioned items and to take precautionary measures on how to prevent the mosquitoes from breeding so that they cannot be a menace to the community. However, the price for a mosqutio net is too high for a household to afford it. A mosquito net which can cover a "double bed" is priced at $5, the equivalent of 10,000 Ugandan Shillings; the one of a "single bed" is sold at $3, the equivallent of 6,000 Ugandan Shillings.
The priority of most households is on feeding the members that constitute it rather than tackling the critical issue of malaria which causes children to die.
It is our humble appeal to you as a concerned person to give us the possible solutions to the plight our community finds itself in.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours Faithfully,
Henry K.
Hello Gowon,
At the moment we have not received any nets from any where, we are still looking for possible sources.
However, you are welcome to give suggestions and ideas on where we can start.
We contacted nothingbutnets.org and are still waiting for their response.
Best regards,
Henry
