Protecting at-risk communities, especially women and children, from threats to their health and lives by sharing simple but important facts in their own languages.

Situation
In the poorest communities around the world, women and children die because no one has told them how to stay healthy. Life-saving information passes them by because they cannot read or write. Often they speak a language that health educators don’t know, so vital information is left unsaid. They are extremely vulnerable to disease, and even the most simple treatments can be compromised by local myths or misinformation.
Solution
We aim to equip the most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities in the world with the key facts that can give them more control over their own health, and protect them from threats to their health and lives. We create interactive audio-visual lessons about some of the world’s biggest health and life threats, which are then recorded in local languages so that all communities can access the information, whatever their level of education.
