storytelling with purpose

We’re a creative collective using stories to drive connection and change.

Telos means purpose. Ours lives in storytelling that serves good people doing good things, making the world a better place. Beautifully told stories bring about connection, understanding and impact. We share years of collaboration in the nonprofit space, and our creative acumen includes writing, editing, design, photography, filmmaking, and communications strategy. Our East African base is a springboard for projects both local and global.

Kuru

Kuru the Conservation Dog  fights wildlife crime in the African bush by tracking poachers, intercepting traffickers, and protecting wild places. Their team has decades of experience, a powerful mission, and an incredible story to tell. They reached out because they needed someone to help them tell it.

Kafika House

Kafika House  began in 2008 with a vision that there should be no child in Tanzania living with a treatable disability. Their mission is to make holistic and transformative healthcare accessible, providing hope and changing the face of disability among families and communities.

Save the Rain

Save the Rain  has been building rainwater harvesting systems on homes and primary schools across Tanzania since 2005. They have decades of powerful impact to show, and a big chapter of it has been ours to tell. We've been their communications partner for more than ten years. In that time, the relationship has taken about as many shapes as water does, and it’s expanded to fill a considerable space.

Our team is small and personable. Our work is founded on the relationships we build. We take the time to get to know you and to learn your story. Let’s explore how we can work together.
