"I used to sleep on mosquito net without a blanket. We used to have fire in the house to keep us warm which was dangerous but there was nothing I could have done to keep the children warm. Since we used mosquito net as a mat, we never cover ourselves with the net and this cause alot of malaria in the family. Now with the assistance, I have bought blankets enough for the family. We no longer use the net as mat but rather as a preventative measure of malaria"
