Abstract
Kapit is a lovely gem where its population fosters a strong sense of community. Many years of research in Kapit by the team from the UNIMAS Malaria Research Centre has shown that longhouse women take the lead in communal life. They thrive at keeping things running well, whether it's cultural or religious celebrations, child supervision, or even saving the neighbour's laundry and pepper berries from a rainstorm. We asked ourselves: who could be more inspiring in championing malaria awareness and prevention than the remarkable women of Kapit’s longhouses?
