Project details
What we need
- A high-resolution digital version of an illustration that can be used across multiple channels (web, print, and/or merchandising)
Additional details
We would like a set of 4 to 6 different illustrations to tell the story of our work in a unique and engaging way. I would also love to explore the possibility of having moving cartoons or GIFS as well.
What we have in place
- We currently have a brief and photos as guides, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a communications officer to guide the process, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,607 , allowing us to divert our limited unrestricted resources to essential overheads.
Safari Doctors is always looking for ways to engage our online audience in interesting and colourful ways. These illustrations will help tell our story in a unique way and be a useful resource for online platforms and published materials.

Our mission
Safari Doctors was registered as a community-based organization in Lamu, Kenya in 2015. Our mission is to provide innovative, community-driven healthcare solutions that promote well-being for marginalized communities in Lamu County.
The indigenous Aweer and Bajuni communities live within the archipelago and on the mainland near the border with Somalia. Neglect and insecurity continue to impede their right to access healthcare.
What we do
Each month, the team sets sail in a boat loaded with medicines and conducts mobile clinics across at least 11 villages. Together with regular outreach work, the team reaches up to 800 patients a month.
Safari Doctors operates a youth Health Ambassadors programme, engaging young men and women who receive basic health education and training, to facilitate our work and become
health leaders in their communities.
As part of our holistic approach to community health, our Safari Vet cares for hundreds of animals. During our outreach work, we provide veterinary services and carry out community awareness sessions on animal welfare and One Health.
Our team also operates a civic education program to build indigenous women's capacity to
engage in County health budget processes and inform policy.
In 2017, the UN in Kenya awarded the Safari Doctors team the United Nations Person of the Year award, "for the outstanding efforts and commendable work providing medical care to marginalized communities in the far reaching areas of Lamu."

Sean was a pleasure to work with- efficient, friendly and happy to make the changes we needed during the creative process.
Working with Safari Doctors was a pleasure. I enjoyed researching what they do as an organization and was happy to create some illustrations for them. Clementine was easy to work with, always clear with directions, and pleasant to talk to.
