Community outreach

Here you can find our key research results put into a creative videos to communicate our main findings back to the communities in plain language. The videos were made by the great KENFIN-EDURA students, who put their hearts and creativity in to the process. Feel free to share the videos with your friends and colleagues or if you are a health professional, you can even use these in your daily work.

The idea of making these videos came after COVID19 pandemic started and the team was unable to carry out the planned physical events in Nairobi. We decided to replace the conventional happenings with reaching out to the communities via social media. However, we had a lot of results to be communicated so we needed many extra hands to help us. That is how we came up with the video project course. During the course, our KENFIN-EDURA students, of whom many had also participated in the data collection phase, were divided into six groups and each of them were given a task of turning a key research message into two YouTube videos: one directed to people living in Langata area and other one directed to people living in Central Embakasi (Kayole). KENFIN-EDURA researchers mentored the groups. As an outcome we have several inspiring and impactful videos covering four main themes of the research project: nutrition, physical activity, obesity and family relations. All videos can be also seen at our KENFIN-EDURA YouTube channel:
