100 Creatives in Lesotho Come Together to Write Children’s Books
Illustrated and photo books were among the products when 100 artists, journalists, photographers, graphic designers, animation and music composers, NGOs, young people and education specialists from all over Lesotho came together to produce local media and communication material for children. The initiative is part of a UNICEF and Lesotho Ministry of Education and Training drive.“Our products show the importance of living together and caring for each other despite our differences, whether it’s a father caring for his orphaned child, a grandmother taking care of a disabled child or a deaf mother loving and caring for her child as best as any other mother” said one of the participants.
The products include illustrated and photo books, posters, animations and TV and radio spots, focusing on promoting positive customs and demystifying the conventional image of children and caregivers with special needs. Particular emphasis was placed on addressing the most vulnerable children aged 0-6 years.
