My early communications work involved the production of educational and technical materials for a range of civil society organisations focussing on women’s issues, land and environment, worker education and literacy, HIV and health.
In 1976, I joined the SACHED Trust, a South African non-profit organisation, to work on Peoples College. This was educational supplement in the newspaper Weekend World, designed to support young people out of school after the Soweto uprising.
Under the guidance of subject experts, I wrote a 26-part series on health care; courses on chemistry and biology; and articles on African history and current affairs. I also worked on other SACHED publications including Working Women, which I wrote and photographed.

I have a wide range of skills and many years of experience in translating complex knowledge into plain English text and accessible communications products. I have worked mainly for Mott MacDonald on a series of UK Aid projects (DFID, FCDO) and for UNAIDS. My recent work has focussed on HIV and health and has included report writing, evidence briefs, case studies, human interest stories and infographics as well as short films and photography. Below are a few examples of different approaches to knowledge translation.
