“Closer to Care” is the latest film in our ongoing work with Ogilvy, highlighting the incredible efforts of SC Johnson in the ongoing fight against malaria in parts of Africa.

Finding ourselves in some of the most isolated regions of Rwanda, the film shares on-the-ground initiatives that SC Johnson, in partnership with the Society for Family Health Rwanda and the Rwanda Ministry of Health are implementing to change the community’s healthcare system.

With numerous health posts being built throughout Rwanda, these initiatives allow for more accessibility for the community to healthcare, bringing the average person’s walk-time to receive healthcare from 3 hours to just 30 minutes.
