We would like to design a 1-page (front and back) with awareness messages and games for kids and youth related to COVID-19 for the Iraq context (in Arabic). We have draft example content and messaging but we need a designer who can help us to design it in Arabic with games in Arabic.

Web and graphic design
The project is focussed on rehabilitation of war-damaged housing in a rural location in Iraq which includes ensuring access to water and basic sanitation facilities to help mitigate the possible transmission of COVID-19. We would like to provide some fun messages for kids with some games that will help them to understand how they can help mitigate transmission and by extension, talk about COVID-19 with their parents. Once the draft is prepared, we will share it with a number of children/youth to confirm the messaging is well understood before finalizing.
Volunteers: 1 needed
1-5 hours per week / 3 weeks
The volunteer will need to have a background in design, and understanding of what is culturally appropriate to Iraq/the region and understand how to design utilizing the Arabic alphabet. May need to do a bit of research in relation to the most up-to-date COVID-19 messages from WHO that can be adapted to children/youth. Will be asked to help design games for kids in Arabic, examples to be provided (word search, crossword, maze).
