Building Resilience
through the Language of Puppetry
When Puppets Speak
They give children a voice. Through puppetry, children can move, play, imagine and create together. Attention sharpens, confidence grows, and the room comes alive. Puppets change the conversation: difficult feelings and problems can belong to a character, not the child. That distance can make it easier to speak, think and explore without having to reveal personal experiences. Stories unlock discussion. Characters face problems, make choices and try again. Through play, children discover that situations can change, different responses are possible, and they have a part to play in what happens next..
The Power of Film
Our films are made to last. Created with lead artists from the original Muppet Show, each production is shaped with exceptional care, combining character, warmth and beautifully crafted puppetry. In a world of fast-moving children’s content, our films are deliberately different: rich, funny and gentle, drawing children into difficult subjects without frightening or overwhelming them.
Live from the LATRINE
Here’s someone we meet most days - hmmm, but when did you last see him interviewed? Mr Poop is live from the latrine to tell us how it is… who washed their hands, who didn’t, and what happens if you don’t. Disgusting!! A short-format film for social media sharing.
What Changes
Five teachers became more than 7,000: In the Philippines, an initial disaster preparedness workshop grew into training for more than 7,000 educators across a provincial school system.
Handwashing with soap rose from 2% to 53%: Independent enumerators recorded lasting change among primary school children following our WASH programme in Nairobi.
95% of caregivers reported improved wellbeing: In our recent work with Sudanese refugee children in southern Egypt, parents reported clear improvements across multiple areas of their children’s psychosocial wellbeing.
