Our Work
Simple lessons for safer living in local languages
What We Do
We create simple, interactive lessons that help people live safer, healthier lives.
Each lesson provides clear, factual guidance – from preventing disease to spotting the signs of human trafficking.
Our goal is not to tell people what to do, but to empower them with knowledge, so they can make informed decisions for themselves, their families and their communities.
Our content is accessible:
• Translated in local languages
• Available on USB, DVD or online
• Designed to be visual, interactive and engaging
• Can be shown without an internet connection
Authenticity and Clarity
Every script is drafted with input from health experts and native-language speakers, then rigorously reviewed and tested before release.
Volunteers from around the world lend their voices and translations — ensuring authenticity and clarity.
Feedback
We always invite feedback from viewers and partners so we can keep improving.
Why We Do it
Every day, thousands of people die from preventable diseases simply because basic health information isn’t reaching those who need it.
We’re here to change that.
By providing health education in the languages people speak every day, we ensure the message gets through — no matter someone’s schooling, income, or location. Our lessons cover vital topics like handwashing, nutrition, disease prevention, and human rights. And we go where other solutions can’t.
With one-third of the world still offline, especially across parts of Africa and Asia, online-only solutions leave millions behind.
That’s why we offer offline formats like USB and DVD — reaching large groups with reliable, reusable content, at minimal cost.
For those with connectivity, our online lessons are data-light and easy to access, even on slow networks.
By supporting this kind of education, we also help advance several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — making our work a valuable tool for NGOs, schools, clinics, and community projects worldwide.
Who We Work With
Our lessons are widely used:
• Local health authorities
• Community and faith-based groups
• Street children’s societies
• Schools and clinics
• NGOs and development agencies.
We’ve shared content with hundreds of organisations in over 85 countries — from grassroots teams to national departments.
And we provide lessons free of charge to any group that can use them to benefit others.

These stories remind us: knowledge protects, empowers, and transforms.
“I learned that it not easy to see all dirtiness in our hands using our eyes because they are smaller. we need to wash our hands thoroughly, and we should use the soap.”
Participant, Uganda
“I had watch the human trafÏcking lesson and it so interesting that I can learn many kind of tricks from the trafficker, as I’ve learnt this one day a couple neighbour asking my parent to take me to work at Bang Kock, Thailand as the restaurant worker with high salary and my parent decided send me to go without any doubt because we know the couple as our neighbor. When my parent come and share this with me I have my reaction to them gently, my suggestions to them is that; can you mum and dad ask them go to meet commune council cabinet? Can you ask them go to meet the Work Permit Department? Can we have a work contract with the restaurant owner which is have Khmer-Thai authority recognize? Then my parent bring all those questions to the couple and the couple just reply that now the restaurant owner don’t need the worker anymore they got enough because you make the decision late. Since then my family and this couple not talk to each other much.”
