To educate is to empower.
Using Comics for Health Education
The best way to get a message across to youth of any culture is understanding how to communicate effectively. Comics are fun, exciting, and easy to read, allowing children to learn how to make healthier choices.
Comics as a Resource
We print our educational comics on a frequent basis and distribute them to doctors, volunteers, and workers in several developing regions. The materials are also posted to our website in several languages, allowing individuals from all around the world the ability to access and download vital information. While standard patient education material may not effectively reach all levels of education and understanding, graphic novels are easily understood.
Educational health comics are created by passionate volunteers.
Our team prints and distributes comics around the world.
Communities may access and benefit from health education.

Connecting with Youth
Sierra Project Foundation is a Denver, Colorado-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health of youth through comics and the arts. We work with children who lack access to information on health issues, helping them make better health decisions and live healthier and longer lives.
We began as a medical distributor in 2013, but found that people don’t always understand their health needs. Thus, we shifted our focus to health education–the most powerful tool for wellness of all. We rely solely on charitable donations to fund the creation, production, and distribution of our health education graphic novels.
