Kidsave's 25th Anniversary Annual Report

Kidsave is a non-profit that champions older kids in foster care and orphanages in the U.S. and around the world to connect them to caring adults who can become their adoptive families or long-term mentors. We believe that every child deserves a family. This annual report design was created to commemorate our 25th anniversary year—since its beginnings in 1999, Kidsave helped nearly 30,000 children through our Family Visit and mentoring programs, training governments and child welfare workers, reuniting orphans with extended family, and humanitarian aid and evacuation efforts in war-torn Ukraine. Designer Tamara Gould of waking state design created the hear/ripple motif to symbolize the "love's ripple effects" messaging that we used in our anniversary communications plan and events, because all it takes is one connection to change a child's life and the lives of everyone around them.
