Bizzell Celebrates World Water Day

Bizzell Celebrates World Water Day

Lack of clean water is an international crisis. Today, 785 million people – 1 in 9 – lack access to safe water and 2 billion people – 1 in 3 – lack access to a toilet. Every 21 seconds, a child dies of water-related disease. Children are often unable to go to school and women are unable to work because they spend thousands of hours annually hauling water to help maintain their homes.

To bring awareness to clean water issues, The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) is proud to help celebrate #WorldWaterDay on March 22. This virtual celebration – Valuing Water – helps raise awareness of the global water crisis and focuses on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #6 to help promote water and sanitation for all. The UN estimates that in 2017, some 3 billion people lacked the ability to safely wash their hands at home, which it notes is “one of the cheapest, easiest and most effective ways to prevent the spread of diseases like the coronavirus.”

An estimated 695 million of a global 2.4 billion people living without improved sanitation facilities live in Sub-Saharan Africa. As an organization on the frontlines of epidemiological and disease surveillance work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Africa, Bizzell finds this alarming. To help address the issue, Bizzell donated water tanks and sinks for young children living in Leve Moi Orphanage in Goma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, housing almost 70 young children and supporting another 500 youth in the community.

In addition, Bizzell works closely with the CDC, which has a full slate of resources on the need for healthy water. Under a CDC Division of Global Health Protection contract, Bizzell communications experts develop messaging and materials to help inform and educate audiences on topics critical to global health security, including clean water access. Additionally, Bizzell supports CDC with qualitative research on messaging related to food safety, including how to properly wash foods to prevent food poisoning.

Please join Bizzell in celebrating #WorldWaterDay on March 22, when the UN World Water Development Report will be released. Register now to participate in this global webinar. The health and economic stability of the world community depend on access to clean water and sanitation facilities, and Bizzell continues to integrate our subject matter expertise, our strategic partnerships, and our philanthropic focus to build healthy, secure, connected, and sustainable communities around the world.

Bizzell Reveals Global Rebrand Ahead of 10 Year Anniversary

Bizzell Reveals Global Rebrand Ahead of 10 Year Anniversary

March 15, 2021 (New Carrollton, MD) The Bizzell Group (Bizzell), an award-winning strategy, technology, and consulting firm, announced today the launch of its new corporate brand identity and new logo design. This change comes at a time when the firm is expanding its global operations and repositioning its services to align with anticipated needs of future clients.

“Our rebranding is not just cosmetic—rather it reflects our mission of accelerating and enhancing the quality of life of the communities we serve,” said Anton C. Bizzell, M.D., President & CEO of Bizzell. “Our goal is to have a design that is realistic, remaining audacious yet intelligent. The new design is universal and will transcend across borders as we continue to expand globally.”

Designed to work effortlessly across communications channels, the new logo pulls visual cues from the original version for brand recognition, while adding modern touches that speak to Bizzell’s innovation and forward thinking.

“We took a risk by revamping a well-known and well-received visual in the space of government contracting,” said Trevis Cage, Director of Communications at Bizzell. “But that’s who Bizzell is, a risk taker that makes strategic moves, using data and industry-recognized expertise to elevate our clients’ brand identity to support their missions.”

Previously rigid and perpendicular, the new Bizzell “B” received a soft polish in which the breaks in that shape signify Bizzell’s diverse service offerings that help clients push beyond conventional ideas, amplifying their missions and accelerating change. The Brand colors and typology are directly connected to Bizzell’s core values. Orange reinforces the ideals of success, determination, and vitality. Hues of Grey provide balance and represent intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. The addition of White provides a complimentary tone of simplicity, safety, and trust. The text has smooth edges which aligns with the organization’s brand essence/culture of being unpretentious, down-to-earth, and loyal to clients, staff, and partners.

Branding is essential to any organization’s strategic communication efforts. Bizzell offers scalable, high-impact communication solutions for a wide range of clients. Learn more about Bizzell’s Learning & Engagement offerings HERE.

Bizzell Provides Access to Safe Drinking Water for Children in Africa

Bizzell Provides Access to Safe Drinking Water for Children in Africa

January 11, 2021 (Lanham, MD) – The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) continues to lead in their commitment to improving lives globally, including some of the most vulnerable children in developing countries. Bizzell recently donated water tanks and sinks for young children living in Leve Moi Orphanage in Goma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Leve Moi Orphanage was founded to serve children orphaned by natural and manmade disasters. The orphanage does not receive any state funding and relies on the goodwill of donors like Bizzell to develop and sustain their essential services to the children of the community. Leve Moi Orphanage currently houses 69 children ages 0-17. They also support an additional 500 children from the surrounding community with free education and school meals.

“Clean, safe, and accessible drinking water, a vital natural resource, is critical to human health and sustainable communities, yet dangerously scarce in many parts of the world,” said Rose Amolo, Bizzell’s Director of Global Programs & Strategic Partnerships. “Clean drinking water and handwashing are essential components of health and reduce incidence and spread of infectious diseases and illnesses such as Ebola, COVID-19, and other health conditions at high risk of spread. Bizzell’s donation will directly impact the health outcomes of these children and their community.”

Bizzell’s global philanthropic efforts focus on the provision of effective, efficient, timely, and fiscally responsible health, youth, and economic solutions that improve the overall quality of life for people in low, emerging, and middle-income countries. Using a participatory approach, Bizzell’s experts leverage best practices and methodologies from work with various federal agencies and multinational organizations to effect change. Bizzell integrates diversity in all global activities and recognizes and builds on the inherent knowledge, cultural insights, and expertise of local communities to develop data-driven, research-informed, innovative solutions.

Bizzell’s most recent work in the DRC includes projects with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), international coalitions, and local health agencies, to combat both the Ebola COVID-19 pandemics through medical, epidemiological, technical assistance, and transportation/logistics support. Bizzell’s donation to the Leve Moi orphanage continues our commitment to integrating our subject matter expertise and our philanthropic focus to build healthy, secure, connected, and sustainable communities around the world.
