Project Execution Report: Mosquito Net and Repellent Distribution to Humanist Survivors in Mozambique

Project Title: "Protecting Humanist Survivors from Mosquito-Borne Diseases"

Location: Mozambique

Date: October 1-15, 2024

Objective:

To distribute essential mosquito prevention items to 50 families of humanist survivors in Mozambique, promoting health, well-being, and protection against mosquito-borne diseases.

Background:
Humanist survivors in Mozambique face significant health risks due to mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and chikungunya. This project aimed to mitigate these risks by providing effective prevention measures.

Project Activities:

  1. Needs Assessment: Conducted a thorough needs assessment to identify beneficiary families and determine the required materials.

  2. Procurement: Sourced high-quality mosquito nets, ointment repellants, safe organic insecticides, and cream repellants.

  3. Distribution: Organized a systematic distribution process, ensuring each family received:

    • 2 mosquito nets

    • 1 ointment repellent (100ml)

    • 1 safe organic insecticide (500ml)

    • 1 cream repellent (50ml)

  4. Community Engagement: Conducted awareness sessions on proper usage, maintenance, and benefits of distributed items.

  5. Monitoring and Evaluation: Tracked distribution, monitored usage, and collected feedback.

Project Outputs:

  • 50 families received mosquito prevention items

  • 100 mosquito nets distributed

  • 50 ointment repellents, 50 safe organic insecticides, and 50 cream repellents distributed

  • 100% of beneficiaries reported increased awareness and understanding of mosquito-borne disease prevention

Challenges:

  • Logistics: Transportation challenges due to rural terrain

  • Language barriers: Required local interpreters for community engagement

  • Resource constraints: Limited budget for additional items

Lessons Learned:

  • Community engagement is crucial for effective project implementation

  • Local partnerships facilitate smoother logistics

  • Regular monitoring ensures optimal resource utilization

Conclusion:
The project successfully distributed essential mosquito prevention items to 50 humanist survivor families in Mozambique. Beneficiaries demonstrated increased awareness and adoption of prevention measures. Future projects should prioritize community engagement, local partnerships, and robust monitoring.

Recommendations:

  1. Expand distribution to additional families

  2. Integrate mosquito-borne disease education into school curricula

  3. Establish local partnerships for sustainable project continuity
