Advancing a Better Bednet

The OKnet Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on advancing OKnet, a redesigned mosquito bednet created for real-world use.

Our work includes factory compliance, field evaluation, WHO engagement and donor partners to bring OKnets to malaria-endemic regions.

Better design. Better usability. Better protection.

The OKnet name reflects the product itself: simple, easy to use, familiar and fun:

Internationally familiar “OK” -- no word is more spoken worldwide
Easy to pronounce “OK” -- is composed of simple sounds common across dialects
Positive meaning “OK” -- it conveys ‘yes’, 'good’, ‘agree’, ‘understood’, ‘all right’
Cross-cultural -- Malaria affects many countries. "OK" is understood across borders, culture, languages
Simple and memorable -- "OK" is short and easy to recognize and remember
Represents progress -- “OK” represents optimism, solutions, and promise

The OKnet name is more than branding. It distinguishes OKnet from hanging nets and promises a better bednet and better protection.
