In rural India, poor awareness and outdated practices continue to harm the wellbeing of working horses and donkeys.

Explanation of the Problem

In many rural parts of India, horses and donkeys are vital for livelihoods; yet, due to limited resources and awareness, the practices surrounding their care are often outdated or harmful. Brooke India, a branch of the UK-based charity Brooke Action for Working Horses and Donkeys, wanted to change this by educating horse-rearing communities. But how do you deliver a serious message to rural India in a way that’s actually engaging and memorable?

How do we make good horsemanship both relatable and respected?

To empower rural communities with the knowledge and values of good horsemanship through creative storytelling.

Design Objectives

  1. Build a culturally relatable and inspiring central character.
  2. Use animation and storytelling to drive home key messages.
  3. Make the content engaging for both children and adults.
  4. Develop a scalable model using comics and video.
  5. Ensure ease of distribution and high recall in rural settings.

What We Did

We created a culturally rooted, imitable character to serve as the face of the campaign. Through a series of animated films and comic books, we delivered key lessons in good horsemanship with empathy and entertainment.
