Crowdfunding
First Goal Achieved

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone that has contributed to our project to translate our Ebola Prevention animation into as many languages as possible.  We have reached our goal and because of it, this animation can now reach even more people.  This is the first of many goals we plan to reach.  We will keep working on translating, creating, and sharing new animations around the world.

New Animations in Our Video Library 

Today we have around 380 different animations in our Video Library, with 43 different topics in more than 55 languages. Here are the latest uploads. We have added new voice-overs in 2 animations:

3 new voice-overs for the Correcting Clubfoot: The Ponseti Methodanimation in: Spanish (accent from Chile)French (accent from DR Congo) and French (accent from Rwanda).

 

4 new voice-overs for the Natural Insecticide from Neem Seeds animation in: San (accent from Burkina Faso)Fulfulde (accent from Burkina Faso)Dioula (accent from Burkina Faso) and Moore (accent from Burkina Faso).

 

We Are Working On It

These are some of the projects we are working on and that will be available soon in our Video Library.  Please help us work faster and reach our goals. A donation today, even if it’s a little one, is the best way to do it.

Post Harvest Loss: Salt Testing 2D

In order to store your grain you will need to dry it first.  However, you also need to make sure your grain is dry enough to store. If your grain is too moist it will lose quality in storage.  In this future animation we will explain how to check to see if your grain has a low enough moisture level for you to store it.

Ebola Symptoms 2D

We are working on a series of three short 2D animations, to explain in an easy and fast way, the symptoms, the spread and the Ebola infection.
