Who We Are
We are a family creative team who produce educational and entertaining kids content in Arabic and English. Teaching the Arabic language and conserving Middle-Eastern culture has always been our main goal. In 2018, we launched “CreativeHouse Kids” YouTube channel, where we publish our work.

Our Project
We wish to produce an educational animated kids series called "Everyday Arabi", and we need funding to produce the first episode (pilot). The main goal of the series is for first generation immigrant Arab kids to learn everyday Arabic. Our main character is Salma. An American born 7 yeard old girl of Arab immigrant parents. We will follow Salma's everyday life and learn Arabic with her along the way. By relating to our main character and engaging with her, our young viewers will see the importance of learning one’s native language and culture. The show will help build basic Arabic language comprehension and conversational skills. It will provide Arab kids with a relatable character and media representation. It will introduce an accurate example of a loving and supportive Middle-Eastern family home. The duration of each episode will be approximately 6-8 mins. Our target audience are kids 3-12 years of age (Arabic level 1).

What We Need
We have the passion, the concept, and the ability, but we need the fund to make this possible. There are 11 episodes planned for our first season of the show. Production timeline for each episode is 4-6 weeks. The estimated cost for each episode is $6,000 and we are now asking to fund the first episode. The money will cover studio rental, software, production costs (writing, animation, voiceover/audio, mixing, mastering), and online marketing. Once we hit the $6,000 mark, we will immediately get to work on the first episode and proceed to find funding for the additional 10 episodes. Once an episode is completed, it will be published and available free to the public on YouTube. A link to the "Everyday Arabi" YouTube channel will be posted here on our campaign and on social media. We hope to be able to produce all 11 episodes by the end of 2021.

We thank you so much in advance and wish you all a beautiful day!
