Community Forests International
Community Forests International is a non-profit environmental start-up, working to connect people and their communities to the forests that sustain them. In an effort to highlight their initiatives and raise funds to help build a Rural Innovation Campus in Pemba, Tanzania. Designed a brochure capturing how community leaders come together to share their knowledge through hands-on demonstration and rural incubation. The piece is driven by the large scale rich colour photography that brings the reader into the context.
Donors received a personalized “thank-you” card with a copy of the brochure printed on an FSC-certified stock (30% post-consumer recycled fibre), manufactured with renewable energy and is biodegradable. CFI surpassed their targeted goals and raised the professionalism and awareness of the organization. After the first year dedicated to building a clear vision and direction, CFI has taken steps toward making their vision a reality.
