situation
Moldova Mission is a Christian nonprofit organization that hopes to bring the message of salvation to the people of Moldova – the poorest nation in Europe – through recreation, security, and elevation of the quality of life for families, children and future generations. The organization began a camp facility that houses three programs: Camp Emmanuel youth summer camp, a Vocational Training Center, and Hope House, which serves children rescued from the sex-trafficking trade.
Moldova Mission approached S&A Communications for help developing the Moldova Mission business plan and creating the brand logo, and build a robust website that would help the organization explain its mission and solicit funds for its philanthropic programs.
