    Volunteer Design Consultant for Kidogo

    Job description
    About This Project
    If you would like to learn more about this organization and project, please follow the apply link to schedule a preliminary call with a representative of the organization.
    Design – Design for program materials
    Kidogo is looking for support from a graphic designer to help redesign our curriculum materials & other documents into a complete “daycare in a box” that has a attractive and consistent aesthetic. This project may include updating some of our design assets (logos, avatars etc.) and developing new templates & formats for future materials. Kidogo is growing Kenya’s largest network of quality, early childhood development centres targeting low-income families in urban areas. Through a social-franchising approach, we can help local daycares & pre-schools improve their quality & financial sustainability to provide the best start for young children. A key piece of this model is a ‘daycare in a box’ or ‘mamapreneur starter kit’ that includes manuals, signage, resources, and other branded items to help caregivers improve their quality and practices in line with the Kidogo Way curriculum. Your work will have a huge impact on improving the lives of thousands of children (and their families) during their most important early years of life! We’ve spent significant time & effort developing a curriculum and training program, but need to translate these bulky documents into more accessible and attractive products that our customers & “mamapreneurs” will LOVE and use in their classrooms. We recently visited a similar partner organization in South Africa and were able to see their beautifully designed products & ‘starter kit’ in action so we have a clearer idea of what this should look like.
    This project can be done remotely.
