ABOUT

Children living in poverty should be grateful for any kind of education, right? Wrong.
Ethiopia has a long cultural tradition of using lions to represent power and pride in artwork, design and language.
The School of St. Yared strives to provide a creative, holistic and experiential education to the poorest. and brightest. children of Addis Ababa, more than an education, it’s preparation for them to open the doors of life’s adventure and fulfil their brightest. potential.
As part of its holistic approach, St. Yared also delivers 3 meals a day, transport and healthcare to Students; and training, planning and support to its teachers. The constant struggle to provide rights that so very many of us consider basic, is draining, and often thankless…
So we created a logo to fight for the children and staff of St. Yared. To give them pride and strength they need.
