Gender inequality is one of the most critical issues in the developing world, and its importance extends far beyond the boundaries of that region.

We are proud to announce that we just completed our 2022 in-person training in Uganda for 15 young women endeavouring to become journalists.

As technology becomes more widely accessible it increased the opportunity for women to become empowered. Learn how the camera is a tool to empower women in Africa.

Cameras For Girls is not just about photography - it's about empowering women through their passion for storytelling and allowing them to share their stories with the world. 

Joyce Kimani is a young and talented Kenyan young woman, who attended my last Cameras For Girls training in Kampala, Uganda.  She was in Uganda to earn her degree in Mass Communications and Journalism from Makerere University. This would be our last training in June 2019 before COVID hit and everything was stopped.

Since its inception in August 2017, Cameras For Girls has diligently taught photography and business skills to marginalized females endeavouring to become journalists in Africa. However, we realized we needed to pivot over the last 20 months under COVID. Thus, we built a robust video library, so our students could continue developing their photography and business skills instead of having the in-person training we could not deliver.

Brandy Valentine Azeirwe attended the Cameras For Girls' second photography training, conducted in Uganda in June 2019. At the time, she was a recent graduate from the Bachelors' degree program in Mass Communications and Journalism from Uganda Christian University in Kampala

I met Patience Natukunda in June 2019 when I embarked on my second photography training in Kampala, Uganda. Through our charity Cameras For Girls, we embark on teaching photography to females endeavouring to become journalists. 

Last week, I had the pleasure of teaching photography to 10 females from Khwela Womxn in South Africa. Khwela Womxn is an organization located in Cape Town, South Africa, similar to Cameras For Girls. Our shared goals are to empower females to reach higher and accomplish more through diversified training programs.
