Project details
What we need
- Final designs for a predetermined type of promotional apparel (e.g., t-shirts, hats, shorts, other swag) or merchandise (mugs, pens, tote bags, etc.) provided in the high-resolution format of the Organization's choice
- Note: Printing and vendor sourcing is not included
What we have in place
- We have loads of ideas and samples of typography. Now we just need someone who can take those ideas, work some creative magic, and deliver an awesome design. We have a staff member who will work alongside you every step of the way to provide additional information and answer questions.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,422 , allowing us to provide training and employment to 80 widows and women with HIV in Ethiopia.
Calling all graphic designers, illustrators and/or typography lovers! We are looking for a volunteer with a heart for women empowerment and education projects to do t-shirt design or two for us. The shirts will be used to help raise brand awareness and generate revenue for our programs. We are inspired by vintage typography and would love to work with someone who will take our ideas and put them to paper.

Our mission
Connected in Hope is a nonprofit (501c3) social enterprise empowering women and families in Ethiopia to rise above poverty through sustainable income development, improved educational opportunities and increased access to basic health care.
What we do
Connected in Hope is an innovative, nonprofit social enterprise working in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
We empower vulnerable women by providing training and employment in weaving, sewing, leather crafting, and dyeing. This allows them to earn a sustainable income and lift their families out of extreme poverty.
Our skilled artisans create high quality products, including scarves, baskets and leather bags, which we market here in the United States and Canada. 100% of the profit generated from sales is reinvested in programs that benefit the women and their families.
In addition to employment, our artisans receive business training, literacy classes, and other skill-building programs that help them on their path out of poverty.
We firmly believe education is key to breaking the generational cycle of poverty. Connected in Hope operates a play-based preschool and kindergarten serving the children and grandchildren of our artisans, as well as others from the surrounding neighborhood. Our early childhood education program provides a unique learning opportunity to children in the Shiro Meda community. Small classes allow our certified teachers and loving caregivers to know each child and meet his/her social and cognitive needs. Integrating Ethiopian standards and international best practice, our curriculum combines traditional academic subjects with exploration in art, music, drama and dance. Our students receive free uniforms, supplies, nutritious meals, medical care and social work services.
