Our BBC Radio 4 Appeal – taking to the airwaves

BBC Radio 4 Appeal to feature Medical Aid Films in October.

First of all, we are thrilled. The appeal is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate how media can transform the health and wellbeing of women and children, and of course, raise money!

As film is a fantastic tool to communicate vital health information, we use it in projects ranging from community education to health worker training in some of the poorest countries across the world.

We can’t do this without the help of our wonderful supporters.  Help us raise awareness and funds for these life-saving films.

When can I listen?
