Development of Solidarity Series - from October/November 2023

- Applications by 01/11/2022

We would like to launch our new fundraising concept, The Solidarity Series. This will involve sharing a story with a theme from our community, illustrated by us, with the hopes to fundraise specifically for certain projects, on monthly or quarterly basis. You can read about the basic concept, this page was designed for the website a couple of years ago and has been tinkered with but never launched: Our Solidarity Series. 

We are looking for a consultant to facilitate the launch, outreach and growth of the this project, and have some stories finished/in progress already, including:

- Amal the Spider, about a wayward house spider who ends up doing a forest cleanup. This has an environmental focus, so we'd be hoping to support an environmental org/charity. 

- Make of yourself a light, the life story of Zeinab a Palestinian woman who survived a massacre and works as an activist in her community in Beirut, Lebanon, trying to raise awareness of the need for solar panels in her community, which we'd be directly raising money for.

- The elephants and the village, a story written by children supported by a small NGO in Bangui, the Central African Republic, about elephants and humans living in a village who became enemies, and no longer talk to each other. This would be to raise money for a projector and education materials for their classrooms.

- Father, friend, beloved, the story of Abdulrachman, a man who survived the ISIS occupation of Raqqa, Syria, on how to take care of his family in uncertain times. With this story we could support the 2023 Syrian earthquake relief/rehabilitation of survivors.

If you could take a look at this, please pitch to us how you/your organisation would facilitate the outreach/growth of this project, accompanied by your CV, relevant experience and a comprehensive budget. 

Required experience: social media expertise, campaigns knowledge, graphic design capacities, language skills in English essential; preferred knowledge of Arabic and French

Deadline: Please send your pitch and requested information to us no later than 1st November, to helen@kitabna.org - we look forward to hearing from you.
