SAWBO: Drawing a better world


Scientific Animations Without Borders (SAWBO) is a University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign based program.  SAWBO transforms extension information in different topics such as agriculture, disease, and women’s empowerment, into 2D or 3D animations which are then translated into a diversity of languages from around the world.  All SAWBO animations are made freely available to anyone wishing to use them for educational purposes only.  Animations can be downloaded from a diversity of SAWBO channels and used on computers, tablets, cell phones, TVs, or overhead projection systems.

Animation Examples

Disease Prevention and Treatment


Ebola Prevention
Ebola is a life threatening disease caused by the Ebola virus. There is currently no cure or vaccine. Although the disease is dangerous and can kill in a short time, we can stop Ebola from spreading. Early treatment can also increase chances of surviving Ebola.

Agriculture


Survival Gardening Animation Series
This animations series will teach you how to create your compost, create raised planting beds for your crops and how to install a drip irrigation system. These techniques, all together, will help you to improve your harvest.


Women Empowerment
