The Malaria Consortium is the worlds leading not-for-profit dedicated to the control of Malaria. They utilise technical expertise and practical experience to develop smart solutions that improve and save lives.

According to the WHO (World Health organization), treated mosquito nets and the proper use of these are the simplest and most effective means of preventing Malaria. The biggest problem previously with treated mosquito nets was that they needed to be retreated on a regular basis and this was not being carried out in an efficient manner. However new technology nets are now just being produced that have a slow release system that lasts for 6-7 years negating the need for regular retreatment. They cost about 5-7 USD / 15-20 AED each including education.

With the assistance of the Malaria Consortium, the UAE Charity Challenge team will be looking to carry out a second LLIN distribution programme on the edge of Lake Albert, this time to the North.
