Each year hundreds of thousands of people travel into malaria endemic areas as part of their business or recreational travel plans.

Before they leave, these tavellers visit their doctor and get antimalalrials to protect them from catching this dreaded disease; but what about the people who live in the places that they visit?

Mozzie Net Bank is a way that travellers can help fight Malaria at the local level where they travel.

Mozzie Net Bank is a bank of Olyset mosquito nets that can be bought at low cost that travellers can take as a gift to a poor family living in the areas in which they travel.

At this point in time Olyset nets are the best LLIN nets available and have life of 5 years. They are recommended by the WHO.

Olyset nets are made by weaving the chemical into the fabric of the net – this means that the nets have a very long life. The manufacturers have also been able to address ventilation problems by making the holes in the net larger. The cost of the nets is also appealing. 

A Youtube video about Olyset nets can be found here.

To buy bets from Mozzie Net Bank email us at nets@buzzoff.org and place your order by email. Mozzie Net Bank will send you an MOU to sign and arrange payment details with you. Because we are making these nets available at low cost we expect that all customers will pay the postage costs of their nets.

Prices of the Olyset nets will vary depending on our own importation costs. However the minimum cost per net is expected to be $AUD20.
