World Elephant Day

The illegal trade in ivory kills up to 40,000 elephants in Africa each year.

That is 5 elephants, every hour, every day, every month, for 12 months!

That is around one every 12 minutes!

Filming a Community Health Worker Documentary in Wouloufiena, Mali

In many African countries, Community Health Workers form the backbone of national health systems. Without people like Founèba Traoré who move door to door providing medical care in their communities, many people would have to travel for many kilometres to receive healthcare. This is her story.
