Nampula - the main city where they act - is the biggest city in the north of Mozambique but at the same time it's the poorest in the country: 15 million people lives there, the average life comes only to those 49 years of age, 44% of children are malnourished, and there is only a 50% of literacy.
But not everything's bad! Everyone can find good fish and a lot of fruits, people are very humble, friendly, and always smiling, and kids are very affectionate to everybody. So it's a people made of a lot of colors, with a lot of positive sensations, and very warm as the country where they live. So it is very important to convey that!

I decided to create a logo with every single value of Mozambique. And it was really important for me to trying to communicate that for the mozambicans, and even for the portuguese people or others from others countries who decided to help this NGO. They need to know and feel this organization like if it was a real family. And all that comes from Mozambique and lives in Mozambique, it's Health For Moz; because children and families who have the hand of those doctors, they already can feel part of that essence and energy.Then, also the sun, the landscapes, the sea, the capulana, the people, every single thing related with Mozambique was definitely used as my inspiration during all the process to find and to reach until the final solution for the logo.It's a logo that can be easily remembered, drawn by hand, and it's definitely a image ready for the future, which whole identity is clean, clear and regardless of is peacefulness, it is composed of a positive energy.

After the end of the deadline, this identity arrived to the final and was the selected one between almost a hundred identities made by others finalist students of the university.

Last but not least, I want to give my special thanks to:
Susana Fernando - teacher at ESAD and freelancer designer

And plus, my thanks to:
César Moura - partner at Up Studio, designer
Pedro Serapicos - teacher at ESAD Matosinhos and designer
