Our Supporters

We are profoundly grateful to the folks at Flip Video who provided four video cameras in support of our digital storytelling program, most recently carried out as part of our ongoing program in South Africa. Stay tuned for the resulting footage, coming soon!

Documentation has always been a vital part of our Civil Society Organization Strengthening (CSO) Program, empowering our organizational participants to tell their stories their way. Video documentation adds an exciting new dimension to story capture/creation, as to the ways that stories can be shared. Now we have a new way to reach a global audience in a fraction of the time it takes with traditional print media.

The following testimony comes from a particpant in a Gender at Work-facilitated Action Learning Process: "Juma never gave up hope of attending school. He eventually became a role model. “Katana,” a class 8 pupil ... has registered considerable improvement in his class work since Juma has served as a role model. Katana’s mother says, “All he thought about was football and lazing about with his friends. It was impossible to tell that he was a school-going pupil! He would never listen to my instructions… and I was very worried about his end result….But now, he has a time-table and sticks to it. He is now respectful. I thought he was being nice because exams were nearing and wanted to win my favour in case he failed; but now I see that he is changed for the better.”
