IY has been the sole distributor for Netprotect® in Myanmar. The nets are made of polyethylene (PE), which is sturdier than normal nets made out of cloth. Also, the insecticide is incorporated into the Netprotect® LLINs fibre and releases the substance in a control manner over a period of 5 years, which is the time the net can be used effectively. Using Netprotect® also reduces the use of chemicals that are required to re-treat cloth nets every six month hence reducing the concerns about the chemical’s disposal DuraNet® LLINs are made with slighter thicker polyethylene (PE) yarns (150 denier) than Netprotect® (118 denier), making them much stronger than polyester (PES) or cloth nets. DuraNet® LLINs will maintain their effectiveness for a lifetime of up to 5 years; which is proving to be almost twice as long as the lifespan of all polyester (PES) nets on the market.

In addition, in DuraNet® LLINs, the insecticide is incorporated into the fibre and is control released over time.  Just the right amount of insecticide migrates to the surface over their entire lifespan.

DuraNet® eliminates the need for the retreatment that may be needed for surface treated polyester (PES) nets. This is important because people will not have to handle the insecticide used in typical retreatment and worry about its disposal.

The out-of-date electrical infrastructure in Myanmar leaves around 70 % of its population without access to electricity. The problem is more acute in the rural areas of the country where people rely mostly on portable lanterns powered by alkaline batteries for lighting.

Lifewell ®is an innovative water filter solution consisting of a 10 litre water bag and a detachable hollow fibre UF filter, which will remove 99.9999% of all bacteria from untreated water - including e. coli, campylobacter, vibrio cholera, psedomonas aeruginosa, shigella and salmonella. Lifewell has been designed for use in developing countries and disaster areas, where access to clean drinking water is particularly important.

The water bag features large built-in handles that facilitate both handling and transportation, as well as a quick-fill intake that allows end-users to source untreated water quickly and easily.

The detachable filter unit is easy to clean - requiring only occasional back-flushing with clean water - and has a long service life compared to other solutions, since particles in the untreated water will settle below the water bag’s filter inlet in order to prevent filter clogging.

Lifewell takes up little space when not in use or during transportation due to its space-saving design, which allows the empty water bag to be rolled around the detached filter.
