Some films exist to change what people do: how a farmer vaccinates a flock, how a health worker records a case, how a new staff member follows a safety procedure. Afrovo Studios makes training and explainer videos for organisations that need information to land clearly, often with audiences who will watch on a phone, in Kiswahili.

What we make

• Training films for staff, partners, health workers and farmers.
• Explainers that make a complex programme, policy or piece of research easy to follow.
• How-to videos filmed step by step, with real practitioners.
• Safety and induction videos for sites and field teams.
• E-learning footage and voiceover for course producers. See Kiswahili voiceover.

What makes training video work

• Show the real task, done by someone the audience trusts.
• Keep each video to one skill or idea.
• Use the audience’s language. Kiswahili versions often reach more people than English alone.
• Add simple on-screen text for key steps, so the film works without sound.
• Test a rough cut with a few people from the audience before finishing.

Research and development projects

We have filmed training-led projects before. Fishers of Change, for Cornell University with ILRI and the Kenya Ministry of Fisheries, followed workshops that gave cage fish farmers on Lake Victoria practical training on fish health.
