Traditional reporting falls short. You end up with data that's too limited for proper evaluation and stories that don't inspire action. Don't wait for your next project cycle to fix your reporting—share your community's stories and daily realities right now.

"Before Folktale, only 9% of our stakeholders read our traditional reports.
Now, 77% watched our Folktale videos. All innovations highlighted in the video got picked up by the donor and were taken to implementation."
