About the video
The four-minute animation covers cholera transmission, prevention, signs, and care in a simple and accessible way. The film follows evidence-based guidelines, consistent with messages already in place in Haiti. Earlier versions have been field-tested, as well as reviewed for accuracy and content.
The Story of Cholera was produced in collaboration with award-winning animator Yoni Goodman.

I like this vivid cholera animation. It is simple to understand by the lay person. Am wondering if I can share to the people of Ghana.
Hi Rebecca,
We would be delighted if you could share the film with the people in Ghana. We intend The Story of Cholera be used all over the world to help people understand how cholera is spread and how to protect themselves. We have a Creative Commons license which allows free distribution for non commercial use.
It would be helpful to hear back from you how it’s being used in Ghana.
Thanks so much!
You are doing a good job. Thanks for it.
It will help many persons in poor countries.

Do you need a smartphone to view this fabulous film? Is there any way to trasmit the file over a regular cell phone?

This animation is self explanatory.
I wish many people especially in Kenya would have an access at least to see it.
Continue the good work.

I am a public high school teacher of Advanced Placement Environmental Science and I showed this video to my 11th and 12th grade students during our water use and management unit. The students were riveted by this piece. As a teacher of a global issues course, I have found it very challenging to help students truly understand the realities faced by people in developing countries. This video is an excellent way to raise awareness!

Hi, I am Maleeha Jawaid from Karachi, Pakistan. I really like your video , very simple and self explanatory.
I work for this small organization that us students have formed and this video (translated in our language – urdu or pashto) would be great to show students in low income areas where majority of the cases are related to cholera. The mothers can also be shown this video so they know how to take care of their household members.
Would love to know if i can use this video and translate it into whatever language is needed.
Thank you!
Regards,
Maleeha Jawaid
Maleeha,Yes, you can use the video and collaborate on the translation/narration. Thanks.
