More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

In Kenya half of the population has no access to clean water, food, education, medical care and employment. This project will provide creative education through photography, to further children's capacity to express these issues that effect them and their community. The project addresses their rights to adequate resources and institutions that we in the west take for granted. By investing in their education we increase their opportunities to become future educators and leaders of their community

Activities

Through workshops in photography teenagers will produce a book illustrating journeys they make each day. We will distribute the books to educational institutions in the west, thus creating awareness on the fundamental right to sustainable resoures

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

The long-term impact is to sensitize the western world to the needs of developing countries and thus decrease North-South inequalities. We hope to raise funds and contribute to a more sustainable future in Kenya through direct community needs.
