The Project: CARE believes a strategic entry point for education and engagement of policymakers and key stakeholders is through travel to see the impact made by effective development programs. Several times a year, CARE hosts high-level delegations in the countries where they work to experience firsthand the impact of U.S. investments on the ground.  Our film team flew to Malawi in advance to film the programs on the ground and traveled with the delegation throughout their journey. 

Due to the Malawi's heavy reliance on agriculture, combined with climate changes and massive flooding, much of the population suffers from chronic food and nutrition insecurity.

53% of children under 5 years old in Malawi are stunted.

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL 23rd District) visits CARE's Pathways program which aims to increase the productivity and empowerment of women farmers by providing expertise in smallholder agriculture, financial inclusion, nutrition, women’s empowerment and market engagement. Working in partnership with others, Pathways promotes transformative change in women’s lives and the lives of their families to improve nutrition and food security.

The Goal: These learning tours can be transformative for the participants. Our goal was to capture the stories on the ground and the unique intersection of those stories with the journeys of the participants.  

The Client: Founded in 1945 with the creation of the CARE Package, CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. CARE places special focus on working alongside poor girls and women because, equipped with the proper resources, they have the power to lift whole families and entire communities out of poverty.
