Support a startup empowering underrepresented groups into photography 📷

Cameras For Girls

aims to address the issues surrounding the lack of empowerment, gender inequality and poverty across Africa by working with people endeavouring to become journalists and photographers in male-dominated spaces. They work with people who have either recently graduated from a Journalism and Communications program at the local university or are in the last year of studies. To get paid work, they must own a camera and know how to use it but many lack the resources to do so. CFG empowers these people with a camera to keep + a 4-phase photography and business skills training. This training is delivered both in-country and online.
