Is the air quality bad where you are? Are you looking for a way to protect your children? This cartoon teaches children about air pollution and how to properly put on a facemask. It also explains how air pollution can make people ill, how wearing a facemask can reduce exposure to particles in the air, and which types of facemasks offer the best protection. The animation was co-designed by the FACE-UP project team, in collaboration with children, their caregivers, teachers and agencies, in Indonesia and Nepal.
The videos are available, in video (horizontal) and short (vertical) formats, in English (with Spanish, Filipino and Portuguese subtitles, on YouTube), Nepalese and Bahasa Indonesia. They are endorsed by UNICEF, the Indonesian and Nepalese Ministries of Health, and international and national NGOs.
