Typical House Requiring Bednet Protection

This thatched roof house in Tanzania is typical of the houses that require bednet protection. During the night, mosquitos can enter through the small windows or the cracks in the door. Our bednets can be used as curtains, preventing mosquitos from entering the home.

Bednet

This bednet offers superb protection from malaria while brightening the home. These bednets last for up to five years and kill malaria-carrying mosquitos on contact; the current bednets only last three months. Acumen Fund is working to make these high-quality bednets affordable to the poor in Africa.
