Behaviour Change Communication Reimagined!
Project HAND UP uses television and live, community and school-based presentations to teach children and families about health, safety and disease prevention in East Africa.
We are dedicated to using puppets and performing arts to create behavior change communication that addresses the most culturally challenging health and safety topics.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 3
“To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.”
All of our work is targeted at creating content about the health and safety of children and families. We strive to create messaging about health and safety that kids want to watch again and again. Below are the targets within SDG 3 where our expertise is best applied. Our passion for target 3.3 has directed most of our recent work.
Strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks
By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination
By 2020, halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents
Strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, including narcotic drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol
By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being
By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases
By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births
