One of our favourite film projects over the past two years has been working with the Prevention Research for Community, Family and Health, a research group housed within the Department of Psychology at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. They implement, manage and evaluate projects across sub-Saharan Africa, with the common aim of trying to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and families in the communities in which they work.

For this project, Mphatlalatsane which means Early Morning Star in SeSotho, we produced this visual introduction: they are testing an integrated Early Childhood Care and Development intervention, including promotion of cognitive development, HIV testing and treatment support, and nutrition education in rural Lesotho. Incredible work in a spectacular country.
