Our partners are community groups, street children’s societies, health clinics, churches, schools and individuals
At Thare Machi Education we produce lessons on topics such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB, diarrhoea, safe water and childcare. The lessons focus on key facts and are interactive which has proved hugely successful with our target audience. We translate the lessons into community languages, produce the DVDs and distribute them free of charge to partner agencies working on the ground. Our partners are community groups, street children’s societies, health clinics, churches, schools and individuals. They don’t need classrooms or training – the DVDs are easy to use and a portable player can be charged from a car battery. Our staff don’t need to be there – just the discs. We produce new lessons all the time – there are 29 already – and are translating them into almost 40 languages from Africa, India, China, South East Asia and Europe..........more
