bednets
Sleeping area screens
Bednets are mosquito nets designed to hang over beds, creating a protective barrier against insect bites during sleep.
They're a primary tool in malaria prevention, especially in tropical regions where mosquito-borne diseases are endemic.
Insecticide-treated bednets are particularly effective: The charity distributes bednets to families in sub-Saharan Africa.
