Displaced families living in temporary shelters are exposed to mosquitoes, increasing their risk of malaria. Most cannot afford repellents or nets and rely on unsafe methods like smoke or old cloths. This project will supply mosquito repellents to 100 families, helping them reduce bites and stay healthy. The repellents will be safe for children and adults and will be distributed with guidance on safe use.
Displaced families live in overcrowded shelters with open spaces, poor drainage, and no insect protection. This creates breeding grounds for mosquitoes and increases the risk of malaria and other mosquito-related infections. Most families cannot afford repellents and lack access to proper health tools. Children, pregnant women, and elderly members are most at risk but remain unprotected in these living conditions.
The project will distribute mosquito repellents to 100 displaced families through trained field staff. The repellents will be child-safe, skin-friendly, and designed for daily use in shelter settings. Each family will receive enough supply to last through the malaria season, along with basic instructions. This will help prevent mosquito bites, reduce illness, and allow families to rest better at night.
By reducing mosquito bites, the project can lower the number of malaria cases among displaced families. This will reduce hospital visits, protect vulnerable people, and help families manage daily life more easily. The project also builds awareness about simple, low-cost mosquito prevention methods. With fewer cases of illness, families can focus on rebuilding their lives and caring for their children.
