Firdaus Kharas

I use mass communications in the form of animation and videos to create global social change, believing that every human has fundamental rights, such as access to health care and freedom from violence. I am working on Polio eradication now and recently created three videos to prevent Ebola. I’ve created several series of behavior-change animated shorts on children with Diabetes and to prevent HIV/AIDS, Malaria, domestic violence and to promote children’s rights and universal values and solar lights. I created videos on women activists, caregivers to people with dementia and child refugee claimants. My work has been translated into over 100 languages for distribution in 150 countries. My Three Amigos campaign to prevent HIV/AIDS series won the Peabody Award and I have 78 other awards for my humanitarian work. Learn more about my work and background on my website and join the dialogue on Twitter and Facebook. You can see and download over 3,300 animated videos in many languages on my Vimeo channel.
