The International Committee of the Red Cross together with the Somali Red Crescent Society is working with a local radio station, based in Somalia, to encourage everyday habits that will help keep diseases, like acute watery diarrhea and cholera, away. These photos give you a behind-the-scenes look at the actors providing messages that could help contain the threat of the killer disease.
Ahmed Isse Gutale, a programmer with Mustaqbal radio, was involved in scripting the three radio spots on three main messages the ICRC and SRCS is trying to promote: Wash hands with soap, drink safe water and visit SRCS clinics for antenatal care.
Abdullahi Hussein Omar, 20, played the role of a young boy in one of the radio spots. The scene involved his character about to drink untreated water before his mother intervened. Water-borne diseases in Somalia are a constant threat during both dry and rainy seasons. Scarcity of water during the dry seasons drives communities to different sources of water that may be untreated while contamination risks increase during floods.
Mandeq Ali plays out her scene during the recording of one of the radio spots. Female voices were the natural choice when it came to the radio spot that was meant to encourage regular visits to SRCS clinics for antenatal care.
Ayan Gure Bare is a technical operator working in Mustaqbal Radio. She mixes the audio in the studio and cues the various presenters during talk shows. She helped create and source the sound effects which were used in making the radio spots.
