A partnership between the Sustainable Seas Trust (SST), the United Nations Environment Programme, WESSA, Plastics SA and the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, has been established to empower children to understand COVID-19, and to encourage them to share life-saving information with those around them.
In order to make COVID-19 related information accessible, meaningful and less daunting for the younger generation, SST and partners took the initiative to develop a comic which aims to help children navigate this unprecedented pandemic in an age-appropriate way.
The comic follows the story of two twin sisters, Elli and Ella, who are trying to educate their families and friends about COVID-19 health and safety protocols, and to provide credible news to others.
