World Vision

1/

In 2022, Hélène teamed up again with World Vision to introduce Follow Your Donation, a tool that lets donors track in real time where and how their donation is spent. She traveled to Ukraine to shoot a video/explainer by following a warehouse logistics manager organising World Vision’s massive relief effort and a group of Ukrainian volunteers preparing food packages to be delivered to displaced families. She also produced short “thank you” videos using WV’s extensive video archive.

She worked closely with WV to ensure the videos followed the organisation’s visual identity while providing a clear and engaging content. Watch below.

In 2019 Hélène became World Vision's first Roving Multimedia Correspondent. She traveled to Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon and other fragile countries to gather multimedia content for the launch of Childhood Rescue, a platform targeting a connected, cause-driven, millennial audience.

Hélène filmed and produced 7 short films about the issues plaguing fragile countries (chronic conflict, weak governance, social upheaval, sudden conflicts, natural disasters, climate change and economic crisis), based on the content gathered during her trips and on WV’s own archival footage. She also hosted Youtube/Instagram lives and posted for social media.

In close collaboration with WV, she produced a raw and immersive experience, taking the audience on the journey with her.

This project was a collaboration with advisory and advocacy communications consultancy APCO in 2019 to create, from start to finish, a series of short engaging and positive videos about Kazakhstan, aimed at a French audience. Hélène traveled to Kazakhstan for a month to direct, film and edit all 5 projects. The videos were published on the website of a major French newspaper, Le Figaro.
