Overview
Mission
To design and produce high-quality videos and animation to train health workers and teach communities in low-resource settings.
What it reported doing in 2024
Nurturing care: We produced a series of videos on ideal responsive care and early learning practices to support counselors in improving their understanding of these behaviors so that they can better counsel and support caregivers. The videos serve as training tools to help counselors improve their skills and can be used in training programs or for self-learning. The project was launched and nearly completed in 2023 including scripting and pre-production filming in over 100 households and community settings in Ghana and the Kyrgyz Republic and editing and post-production of the videos. In addition to English the videos have been published in Arabic French Kyrgyz Portuguese Russian and Spanish. Some of the work in wrapping up these languages and publishing and distributed the videos was finalized in 2024.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 69% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
