The Challenge

Fundraising appeals live or die on human content. Generic displacement statistics do not move donors to act at the rate a real face does. UNHCR needed campaign-grade visuals around real IDP women whose stories were diverse enough to speak to different donors, yet coherent enough to anchor one campaign.

Our Approach

A multi-subject, field-filmed Ramadan appeal documentary - three women across two camps in Borno and Benue, each speaking in her own words. Structured to yield a full campaign film plus modular single-subject assets deployable separately across platforms, prayer gatherings, social media, and donor presentations.

The Result
  • Primary human evidence converting awareness into Zakat contributions
  • Modular structure generated social, event-screening, and digital fundraising content from one production
  • Faith-community credibility through verifiable, locally documented need
  • Named human stories supporting donor retention beyond a single Ramadan cycle
