Comfort the Children International works alongside Kenyan communities to provide resources that create sustainable change. Instead of simply giving aid and money to those in need, we build relationships and programs that empower residents to help themselves.
CTC’s initiatives focus on education, environment, economy, health and community development that directly impact the community as a whole.

This company presents an amazing opportunity to synthesize my knowledge and passion for health, community, and design. I actually plan to volunteer with them in Kenya this winter or summer and see what possibilities are open for the future.

"We create positive world change connecting authentic companies with real people in socially responsible ways."
Firebelly is committed to cultivating connections between human beings and ideas, inspiring conscious thought and action. As early advocates for socially responsible design, we pioneered an ethic that values honesty, empathy and Good Design for Good Reason™.
They focus on community projects, on what is good for people, not just what will make money.
Chicago is one of my ideal places to live. My sister lives/works there now at Ogilvy & Mather. Brilliant to see a strictly design firm contributing to the community in tangible ways. I would love to work in their nonprofit and maybe continue their involvement in the community.
