Mossie net
Everyone has a friend or loved one who complains about being terrorised by mosquitos. This is the perfect gift card for them. Their card will pay for a mosquito net to be given to a family threatened by malaria. And surely your friend will appreciate that gesture more than most.
Mossies might keep us awake at night, but spare a thought for people in an emergency, where these little critters can transmit deadly diseases. During floods, mosquito numbers can multiply and the threat of infectious mosquito-borne diseases, like malaria and dengue fever, turns deadly. Our emergency teams are able to respond quickly in these situations by providing essential supplies, including insecticide-treated nets, to keep mossies at bay.
“More than four million children die from malaria every year and pregnant women suffer early miscarriages and complications due to malaria. If those at risk slept under long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets, the number of preventable deaths and illness could be considerably reduced. Oxfam uses treated bed nets endorsed by the World Health Organisation.” Jane Bean, Public Health Technical Advisor, Oxfam Australia
