No more Moonas

"Moonas" is a common term in the Aboriginal community for head lice. One middle aged lady with extremely long hair suffers from Psoriasis. She reported back that her hair was now clean from lice and it didn't irritate her skin. Many conversations were had about the different methods we have used in the past it kill the lice. Cheap conditioner, combing, Aunties spending hours on kids hair, and of course my least favourite being kerosene.

Tell us how and to whom you distributed the goods in your community

We set up displays in our 2 child care centres, our dental and medical receptions. Needless to say we are now out of stock. It was great to see people only taking what they needed so distribution was wide and much appreciated. It was just in time for school holidays.

KP24 has been a household name in Aboriginal communities for years. We like our families big so the spread of lice is a common problem. Your product was distributed to many local families who would otherwise resort to other methods. This writer (me) has a clear memory of having kerosene poured on my hair as a child to clear the lice. I would never subject another human to that. These are still some of the methods still being used today. To continually have to purchase products can add up. PharaCare has eased this burden. On behalf of our community, thank you PharmaCare
