Скачать или смотреть The Dissolving Poster in Brazil: Killing Mosquito Larvae Carrying Diseases (Chikungunya, Dengue)

Discover Habitat for Humanity Brazil's fantastic invention: a poster educating people about preventing the spread of moquito born diseases such as chikungunya which also doubles up as a way to kill the larvae of those very mosquitoes.

When the rain comes, the poster dissolves and releases a chemical compound specifically targeted at mosquito larvae contained in stagnant water after heavy rainfalls.

ABOUT OUR CHARITY

One in five people across the world live in slums and substandard housing, locking them into a grinding cycle of poverty. This lack of housing negatively affects their health and well-being, educational prospects, and ability to make a living.

Habitat for Humanity’s vision is a world where everyone has a safe place to call home. We believe that a decent home helps to permanently break the cycle of poverty and allows families to achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance.
