The Send Off
Kajiado Children’s Home (KCH) has been home to multi-generations of vulnerable children since 1997. KCH works closely with Kenya Child Services to identify childen who are the most desperate in need, with those admitted having no family, access to parental oversight, nor have their basic needs for protection met. KCH provides physical and spiritual nourishment in a safe environment, supplemented by care by a loving staff, medical care and educational needs through secondary school. The children come from different African tribes and grow up as sisters and brothers. Currently, there are over 100 children being cared for at KCH. Alumni of KCH remain active as mentors, volunteers, and some even serve as local board of management or board of trustee members along with respected community leaders.

Process
Our process begins with in-depth research into the client’s objectives, past campaigns (including their successes and areas for improvement), their target market and audience, and the goals they aim to achieve. This is followed by a production call to review and confirm all details.
Next, we curate a tailored plan and schedule a pre-production call to reconvene, review the strategy, finalize shooting dates, and align on project timelines. We then maintain consistent communication with all stakeholders, handle travel arrangements, visas, location scouting, and secure necessary permits or permissions-essentially managing every detail.
We handle every detail of production, so the client can focus on their business as usual, trusting us to lead strategy and execution.
