HIV AIDS What is this lesson about? HIV AIDS Close The HIV/AIDS DVD is our general overview lesson on this important subject. It informs the viewer of the seriousness of the HIV virus and the ways in which it is spread. Although it is incurable, it is important to stop the spread of HIV through education and prevention. The viewer is shown ways of doing this, such as the use of contraception and the sterilising of razors and syringes. The DVD helps to break down some of the common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS, in particular how it can and cannot be passed on. One of the points the viewer is taught is the importance of informing their children about HIV and AIDS. Children are just as much at risk as adults, especially unborn babies, who can contract the virus from their mothers. Education and information are vital in stopping the spread of this very serious disease.	Watch this lesson NOW!

Avoiding Ebola What is this lesson about? Avoiding Ebola Close This lesson was produced in response to the 2014 outbreak in West Africa and Democratic Republic of Congo. It aims to give people key facts about the Ebola virus so that they can be alert to the risk without living in fear. “Avoiding Ebola” focuses on four key areas. It begins by teaching how Ebola is transmitted and how to protect yourself and others from catching the virus, teaching about the importance of good hygiene and also about the incubation period of the virus. Then, the viewer learns how to look after somebody who has Ebola as safely as possible, especially if they are unable to get to a proper treatment centre. It then teaches the safest way to bury someone who has died from Ebola, explaining that touching the body is particularly dangerous, and how to disinfect afterwards. Finally, it covers the importance of welcoming survivors back into the community as they are no longer a risk and have a unique role to play in caring for others. This lesson aims to counter harmful rumours about Ebola that can damage efforts to control the spread of the virus, and provide people with the information they need.	Watch this lesson NOW!
Cholera What is this lesson about? Cholera Close This DVD raises awareness of the dangers of cholera, which if left untreated can be deadly. The DVD teaches the causes of cholera and how to treat it, as well as advice on how to prevent it. Cholera is caused by germs and can spread through communities quickly. It is important that someone with cholera drinks plenty of clean liquids and does not contaminate food or water, which would allow the illness to spread. The viewer is taught the symptoms of the illness such as diarrhoea and dehydration so they can identify it as quickly as possible and get the medical help that they need. Cholera can also be treated at home; the DVD teaches how to make a simple rehydration mixture using water, sugar and salt. Prevention is very important and the viewer is taught four simple steps that can reduce the risk of them getting the illness.	Watch this lesson NOW!

The viewer is taught the importance in keeping their childs fluid levels up by extra breastfeeding if they are young enough, or providing them with lots of clean drinking water.
