Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $235,282 spent. Emergency care: High-quality teaching videos can help close the significant gap in training tools available for emergency care providers. These videos cover basic emergency care including immediate care of severely ill children wound care fracture management burn care airway management and other skills and procedures. We started laying the groundwork for the series in 2022. In 2023 we were involved in pre-production activities and filmed at several locations in Nepal in late 2023 and early 2024. We produced and published the first set of videos for community responders in 2024 and secured clinical sites for additional filming. We also expanded the project to include nearly 100 emergency care topics in collaboration with WHO.
  2. $15,250 spent. The Story of Sugar: Inspired by our work on diabetes we launched this animation in the latter part of 2022 to address the harmful effects of sugar and processed food help people understand diabetes and show those at risk the lifestyle changes that promote better health. The Story of Sugar joins our three other "Story of" animations on cholera Ebola and coronavirus which have been watched hundreds of millions of times worldwide. To make the messages more effective in changing behavior our animations are done in a realistic style that captures human expression so that people emotionally connect with the story and health messages. In 2024 the video was completed and published and we began narrating it in other languages.
  3. $14,302 spent. Nurturing care: We produced a series of videos on ideal responsive care and early learning practices to support counselors in improving their understanding of these behaviors so that they can better counsel and support caregivers. The videos serve as training tools to help counselors improve their skills and can be used in training programs or for self-learning. The project was launched and nearly completed in 2023 including scripting and pre-production filming in over 100 households and community settings in Ghana and the Kyrgyz Republic and editing and post-production of the videos.
