The Alert Little Tun: Drowning Prevention Year 2 animation production

 Background

Drowning is the most common cause of death among children in Thailand. According to Thailand’s Department of Disease Control, 1,243 children under 15 die from drowning each year.Further compounding the problem is that two out of every three children under the age of 15 (approximately 11 million children) do not know how to swim. In addition, parents, caregivers, and communities are unaware of the high rate of child drowning and have limited, if any knowledge of drowning prevention.

Save the Children is working to promote knowledge on drowning prevention to increase children’s safety in Thailand. There is currently a lack of educational materials on drowning prevention in Thailand, therefore Save the Children aims to increase the availability and development of child-friendly drowning prevention awareness-raising materials; for example, the Alert Little Tun cartoon, board games, posters, banners, and activity books that include illustrations, puzzles, and games related to drowning prevention.

The Alert Little Tun is a cartoon that was created in 2014 through our collaboration with the Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS) to promote children’s disaster preparedness and safety. This programme has received global recognition and was featured at the 2015 World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) in Japan. In 2016, The Alert Little Tun was developed under the Road Safety episodes, and in 2017 again under the Water Safety episodes.

As The Alert Little Tun has been effective in reaching and educating a large population of children and adults on child safety, in this regard, we would like to continue to develop and utilize this character to raise awareness of drowning prevention.
