VIDEOS ON CHC

How Community Health Clubs empower women in Zimbabwe.

This video is an overview of many CHCs in different countries and how they have achieved many different things with the result of empowering women.

Africa AHEAD and Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) held a side event at the Stockholm Water Week (2014)  which can be found at the above link.

The seminar provides a unique opportunity to understand the social psychology of the CHC Model as well as hearing first-hand examples drawn from case studies in Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Uganda, with similar examples of community led approaches in Kenya and Benin and debate as to whether the CHC Model is replicable at scale in other developing countries as we seek practical ways to ‘Fight poverty post 2015 by securing access to energy, food and water’.

Community Health Club Activities

length: 5.56 minutes

Infectiously jolly music against a collage of impressive photos of the inside of CHC kitchens, CHC venues, mapping, tippy taps, latrines and gardens… mainly facilities rather than people and an ideal introduction for a foreign audience.  Rating ****

Use of Flash Cards for Training in Community Health Clubs

Length 2.5 minutes

Africa AHEAD has for the past twenty years been developing an extensive range of Visual Aids for training communities in good health and hygiene. These ethnographic illustrations are used in participatory (PHAST) activities which enable people to problem solve through visualisation.

Review: A nice short video of some of the most attractive illustrations for WASH training . This video shows some of the key messages used in Zimbabwe which are available from Africa AHEAD along with training for use in Community Health Clubs. Very useful video as it is short and attractive and can be used to break up a presentation. Rating *****

Length: 1.33 minutes

This video describes Africa AHEAD/ Unicef emergency assistence to disabled people in Zimbabwe to assist with Hygiene kits to protect against Covid 19.

Review: The video is in journalistic  style with an interview with the Director of AFrica AHEAD but the quality of filming is not very good. Useful  mainly as verification of AA activity. 

Food and Nutrition Gardens in Zimbabwe

Length: 1.33 minutes

These women were in the eye of the cyclone which hit Chipinge district in Zimbabwe in March 2019. Thanks to working together in Community Health Clubs they have started a nutrition garden and can be seen here, in a time of Covid 19. Four months after Africa AHEAD completed the programme they sent us this amateur video,  a role play of CHC members explaining to their neighbours how they prepared the garden with fertility trenches to enrich the soil.

Review: The video is an inspiration in that it is a community effort to tell the world how they have survived. But being in Shona is best for local consumption.
