1/2 The mosquito doesn't waste any time - it finds the perfect place to lay its eggs."
In the hills of Comas, Peru, community leader Carmen Luz Estrella Paz turned dengue prevention into her mission, moving her neighbours from doubt to belief in the Wolbachia method. Her conviction is simple: "Wolbachia is important - it will save lives."
This is the community leadership that makes public health work at scale.
Next Monday, 15 June, is World Dengue Day - we'll be sharing more stories like Carmen's through the week, so keep an eye out.

In our film Releasing Hope, the spectre is a mosquito swarm built from real community testimony. People described dengue as living "in the shadow of something."
What did it make you feel?

The spectre in Releasing Hope came from real testimony. Communities described dengue as a shadow that never lifted.
Hear the animator explain how she brought it to life.

Every element of new animation, Releasing Hope, was a deliberate creative choice, including our protagonist and the force she faces. Six days to go.
