Typical House Requiring Bednet Protection

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.
