Dengue Prevention & Health Literacy

Every year since 2014, BCMF distributes dengue prevention posters to migrant schools along the Thai-Burma border, to Thai villages, as well as to schools and clinics in remote areas of Karen State, Burma. In addition to this, BCMF provides mosquito nets to dormitory students attending migrant schools in Thailand and remote schools in Karen State, Burma. These are usually distributed at the same time as stationery supplies are given to schools and coincide with the rainy season, when each year sees a significant increase in mosquito-borne illnesses. Between 2021-2023, BCMF has also distributed covid-19 prevention posters and leaflets to schools, villages, and partner clinics.
