Sound familiar?

The care is real. Donors only see a statistic.

Health nonprofits run clinics, surgeries and outreach in places donors will never visit. Patient privacy, busy clinical staff and remote sites mean the stories that would fund the next treatment rarely get filmed.

×

Privacy comes first

Patients need consent, dignity and a chance to review. Most teams stop there.

×

Clinicians have no time

Your nurses and doctors are with patients. Nobody is free to film.

×

Clinics far from a crew

The hospital is in Gulu or Phnom Penh. The comms team is an ocean away.

“The global network of content people you all have. When that was first proposed, I was like, I don't believe that really exists. Like, could you really get someone for us in Uganda and all these places?”

Mackinnon Engen, Executive Director, Watsi

“I think that it allowed us to tell our story at the highest aspirational way and to show how this medium-sized nonprofit has a true global impact.”

In their words

Health teams, in their own words.

Watsi went from one-off videos to a standing partnership, filmed at partner hospitals in Cambodia, Uganda and Colombia. The Center for Mind-Body Medicine needed one clear film for funders and partners about trauma healing in Gaza, Ukraine and Haiti. Here is what they told us.

Patient consent and review

Releases in the patient's language. Anything sensitive is reviewed before it goes live.

Dignity-first filming

Where it helps, interviews are led by people patients already trust.

Local crews near your clinics

20,000+ creators in 130+ countries, so nobody flies in for one ward.

Captions in their languages

Subtitles in Khmer, Spanish, English and more.

Built for donor campaigns

Patient stories cut for email, social and paid acquisition.

You own everything

You keep every finished file and all the raw footage.

Beyond video

Everything your appeals need, from the same shoots

One clinic day becomes patient stories, explainers and the photos your report needs.

Public proof

Watsi: partner hospitals in Cambodia, Uganda and Colombia

Watsi came to us with no dedicated video team. We filmed at a partner hospital in Cambodia with a Khmer translator on set, at a new birthing centre in northern Uganda where Watsi's own staff ran the interviews, and at a clinic in Medellín. Everything cuts back into one library: patient stories, explainers, the Who Gives? donor campaign and films built for paid acquisition.

Questions

Questions health nonprofits ask us

Tap a question. Each answer comes with a 20-second video.

Is the free session really free?+

Yes. The Zoom session and the three videos our editors cut from it cost nothing. No contract, no card, and you keep every file with no obligation to buy anything afterwards. Book your free session and see your story on screen.

Book my free session →
What happens on the free session?+

You pick one person close to your work, and our producer interviews them live over Zoom for forty-five minutes while we record. Our editors then turn that conversation into three finished, captioned videos for your website, your social channels and your next appeal. All you have to do is show up, so book your free session.

Book my free session →
Who can we put on camera? A patient, a nurse, a health worker?+

Anyone whose story moves people: your director, a program lead, a volunteer, someone your program served, or a grantee overseas joining from a phone. Our producer guides every answer, so nobody needs camera experience or a script. Bring your people to a free session and we'll handle the rest.

Book my free session →
How do you protect patient privacy?+

Every shoot is planned around consent and dignity. People sign releases in their own language, we never show minors' names or identifying details, and anyone sharing something sensitive reviews it before it goes live. Your safeguarding policy always overrides ours, starting with your free session.

Book my free session →
How do you tell hard stories without exploiting anyone's pain?+

We tell stories of strength, not pity. The people on camera speak in their own words about change, progress and what they want the world to know, because donors give more when they see dignity and agency. See how we'd frame your story on a free session.

Book my free session →
Our clinics are overseas. Do you fly a crew out?+

Usually not. We hire vetted local crews from our network of more than 20,000 creators in over 130 countries, and our producer directs them live on the day. Your story is filmed by people who know the language and the place, and your free session is where we plan it.

Book my free session →
Can you make versions in other languages?+

Yes. Interviews run in whatever language the speaker is most comfortable in, and every video ships with subtitles plus any second language you need, from Spanish and French to Swahili, Arabic and Haitian Creole. Tell us your audiences on your free session and we'll plan every version.

Book my free session →
Who owns the videos?+

You do. Your organization owns the finished videos and all of the raw footage, including everything we record on your free session. Use them on any channel, in any report, for as long as you like.

Book my free session →
What does it cost after the free session?+

Whatever comes next is scoped to exactly what you need, from a single film to a steady stream of videos for every program, and you get the price in writing before any work starts. No surprise change orders and no pressure. Your free session shows you what that scope should be.
