A good video can do more than share information. It can help communities start conversations, build trust, and change behavior. 🎥🌍

That’s why illuminAid focuses on practical, locally led training. When organizations learn to create their own videos, they gain a tool they can use long after the workshop ends. 💡📽️

In the WHO African Region, roughly 20% of children under five still lack access to basic, life-saving vaccines.

That gap can leave families vulnerable to preventable diseases. 🌍

In Cameroon, illuminAid helped address this gap. Alongside the Peace Corps, participants learned to create local health education videos on vaccination and malaria prevention. Participants also received cameras, cordless projectors, and solar-powered recharge kits, helping them bring trusted health messages directly to communities with limited access to electricity or internet. 🎥☀️

Because trusted information can help protect lives. 💛

The World Health Organization estimates that by 2030 only 78% of the global population will have basic handwashing facilities.

For rural communities in places like Burkina Faso, that gap can put families at serious risk. 🧼🌍

That is why illuminAid is here to help.

In partnership with Catholic Relief Services in Burkina Faso, illuminAid trained 18 local educators and CRS staff to create and share hygiene-focused videos on critical WASH practices.

With camera kits, cordless projectors, and recharge kits, local teams can bring lifesaving health information directly to remote communities — even where electricity and internet access are limited. 🎥

Because when communities have the tools to teach and protect themselves, knowledge becomes action. 💛

Video can do more than share information.

It can shift beliefs, change behaviors, and open new possibilities. 🎥

In northern Nigeria, a World Bank study found that aspirational video screenings reduced the number of out-of-school children by 42%. Parents’ attitudes also began to change, with higher aspirations for their children’s education and shifting norms around early marriage.

At illuminAid, we believe locally relevant video can be one of the most practical tools for helping knowledge become action. 🌍✨

📚 In rural Ethiopia, literacy means more than learning to read.

Through illuminAid’s partnership with Save the Children and World Vision, local teachers learned to create educational videos and share them with students using cordless projectors. 🎥

The result: lessons rooted in local stories, familiar settings, and community voices.

When teachers have the tools to create and share knowledge, students gain more than information — they gain confidence, pride, and possibility. 🌍✨

Together, we’re helping communities build stronger learners and brighter futures. 💛

When girls have the tools to tell their own stories, they can help change the future of their communities. 🎥✨

In Paraguay, illuminAid partnered with Plan International to lead a four-day video production workshop focused on health, safety, and gender equality. Participants created short videos on issues like disease prevention and women’s rights, featuring local children and young women as the voices of change.

By producing videos in local dialects, with familiar faces and community-based stories, these messages can reach rural audiences in ways that feel trusted, relevant, and accessible.

This is what locally led media can do: help young women become creators, educators, and advocates for lasting change.
