These materials expand and sustain the impact of Soul City’s mass media work through high quality training and materials creating a deeper impact at community level. Our materials are distributed to hard to reach audiences in South Africa and the region. The materials are based on stories and are full colour with many pictures and illustrations to engage the trainees and link the materials to the Soul City series.
