Voices That Change the Narrative
 At AFRIHECOM, we believe that the most powerful climate-health solutions begin with a story. Not one written in policy briefs or scientific journals, but told by a mother drawing clean water after floods, a youth planting trees in a heat-stressed city, or an elder recalling rains that once came like clockwork.
Our Storytelling & Media Engagement initiative turns lived experience into movements for change. We partner with communities, journalists, filmmakers, and cultural leaders to humanize data, challenge myths, and inspire action across Africa.
“ We don’t just tell stories. We amplify voices, spark dialogue, and move decision-makers. ”
Why Storytelling Is Strategic
In the fight against climate change and health inequity, facts alone are not enough. People act on emotion, trust, and identity, and that’s where storytelling becomes transformational.
We use narrative as a tool to:
- Make complex science accessible and relatable
- Counter misinformation with truth rooted in culture
- Elevate marginalized voices often left out of mainstream media
- Inspire empathy, policy change, and community ownership
Because when someone sees their life reflected in a film, radio drama, or social media post — they don’t just feel seen. They feel empowered to act.
Our Storytelling Approach: From Soil to Screen
We go beyond surface-level reporting. Our process is participatory, ethical, and deeply local ensuring every story is owned, shaped, and shared by the community it represents.
