The story behind the work…

Epilepsy effects 65 million people worldwide. 80% of individuals with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries.

ROW Foundation is a Chicago-based NGO, existing to improve the lives of people living with epilepsy in under-resourced areas around the world. ROW Foundation brings medication to patients who otherwise would remain untreated. Their global partners assist in local education programs, helping destigmatize epilepsy and ensure patients receive requisite care. With epilepsy often viewed as a demonic possession and those who deal with it often taken advantage of because of their condition, ROW’s efforts have helped transform lives.

Our job at Not Paper Productions was to help tell the stories of those impacted by ROW Foundation’s work, simultaneously transforming their video storytelling for educational, marketing, and fundraising purposes.
