  Zambia, Chikumbi: Bednet distribution
  
  This distribution was the 2nd of 3 phases to distribute nets over the entire district of Chikumbi to ensure all 13 villages had every sleeping space covered in a fight to eradicate or drastically reduce the impact of Malaria. Each of the 3 villages had provided a census of their population and their sleeping spaces. Malaria is a huge problem in Chikumbi and there is little or no support in the prevention or cure phase of the disease. Few people can afford nets and or the drugs to treat malaria.
