FAWE Africa — Forum for African Women Educationalists
Publication Design · Book Design · Translation (English → French)
FAWE Africa has championed girls' education and women's empowerment across the continent for over thirty years. For their 30th anniversary, they needed a commemorative book — "A Legacy of 30 Great Women Championing for Girls' Education and Empowerment." This wasn't a design brief. It was a responsibility. Stories that deserved dignity. An audience across multiple continents. And a full French translation required as an equal version in its own right.
Meticulous book design — a layout that honoured the stories of 30 remarkable women without letting design overshadow the substance. Clean grid, bold editorial hierarchy, dignified typography.
Imagery direction that centred African women as protagonists of their own stories — not subjects to be displayed, but leaders to be celebrated.
Expert full-publication French translation ensuring the narratives resonated with complete accuracy and fluency for French-speaking African and international audiences.
A commemorative publication that serves as a lasting testament to FAWE's 30-year legacy — an institutional asset that will be used and shared for decades.
Broadened continental reach — the French translation ensures inspiring stories reach French-speaking Africa with full fidelity, not approximation.
A design language that elevated FAWE's institutional communications and gave them a quality standard to build from.
