Help Educate and Protect the World’s Most Vulnerable— One Video at a Time Across the globe, over 1 billion people live in extreme poverty, cut off from the vital information that could protect their health, secure their livelihoods, and improve their future. From preventing disease outbreaks to boosting food security and promoting human rights, access to knowledge saves lives. Yet too often, traditional education tools fail to reach those who need them most—because of language barriers, illiteracy, remote geography, or lack of electricity.That’s where illuminAid comes in.Founded in 2008, illuminAid has trained local leaders and organizations in more than 30 countries to produce and distribute low-cost, locally relevant videos that educate and inspire behavior change. These are not slick ad campaigns made in faraway cities. They are authentic stories, crafted by and for the communities they serve.We’ve helped produce: Ebola prevention dramas that reached tens of thousands during West Africa’s health crisisFish farming how-to videos in Kenya that now support over 5 million consumers through more sustainable aquacultureHIV prevention stories in Equatorial Guinea created entirely on solar-powered tablets by local youth teamsAnd hundreds more videos covering topics like gender-based violence, climate resilience, nutrition, sanitation, and peacebuilding More Info below.
