From video to community change. 🎥🌍

When local organizations have the skills and tools to create their own videos, important information can travel farther, reach more people, and inspire action.

illuminAid helps communities turn local knowledge into practical video education, connecting stories and information with the people who can use them most.

Create locally. Share widely. Change together.

Did you know malaria is one of the leading causes of death in Cameroon?

That's why illuminAid trained local participants in Cameroon to create their own educational videos about malaria, giving communities a practical way to share prevention messages in familiar voices and local contexts.

By combining simple video production skills with portable technology, participants can continue creating and screening health education long after the workshop ends.

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. 🌍✨
