We worked alongside Empower One to develop a name and brand that invites the U.S. church to help empower local church planters in North East Africa.
We love the challenge of giving donors a front-row seat to what’s unfolding halfway around the world—and the endless creative possibilities to transport them there.
In all, we designed a comprehensive visual identity, helped launch a monthly giving community, and built a robust media library intended to help share their story and empower more leaders, for years to come.
After a 23-year civil war Sudan split into two countries, which meant “Empower Sudan” was no longer inclusive of the communities the organization served.

EQUIPPING THE NEXT GENERATION TO LEAD
