Film making process

Dairy School films – tailor made to meet local farmer needs

Our focus on education not only improves farming practices but also leads to greater family nutrition, poverty reduction, and stronger community ties. Our work ensures that important practical information reaches those who need it most.

Our films reflect local realities and lived experiences, and are based on years of experience in the communities we support. This ensures that the content is both relevant and impactful.

We prioritise local needs, ensuring that the information delivered is tailored to the unique challenges faced by small-scale dairy farmers.

Clear and practical information

Education and storytelling form the backbone of our approach. Farmers like watching and learning from films either on the Dairy School YouTube channel or when they are shown at a community level.

We equip farmers with clear and practical information. This empowers them to become more productive and profitable, driving lasting transformation in their families and communities.

Dairy School films are now being shown at community level in Malawi and Zambia. Several  of our films have been translated into local languages such as Chichewa, Nyanja, Bemba and Tonga. This makes the content more accessible and significantly increasing audience learning.

All our films are peer reviewed by our advisory panel. This is made up of international experts who work with and understand small-scale dairy farming. This ensures that the information presented is accurate, reliable and scientifically correct.
