Showcasing Our Students’ Stories and Successes
At Cameras For Girls, photography is more than an art form—it’s a medium for transformation, growth, and storytelling. This year, we proudly unveiled a photo gallery highlighting 21 of our remarkable students. While space limitations allowed us to feature only a few of their incredible journeys, each photograph is a testament to their determination, the strength of our programs, and the profound changes that can happen when someone gains the tools to share their perspective with the world.

A Lens to See the World Differently
For many of our students, learning photography has been life-changing. They’ve gone from having no way to tell their stories to using the camera as a voice—a way to document their lives, express their creativity, and show their unique contributions to the world.
Through our programs, students not only learn technical skills but also develop a deep sense of confidence and pride in their abilities. This gallery captures their journeys—how they’ve grown and what they’ve achieved through hard work, dedication, and creativity.
The Gallery: Stories Behind the Images
Our featured gallery is filled with photos beyond visual beauty—they tell stories of resilience, ambition, and imagination. Each image reflects the experiences and aspirations of the woman behind the camera.
Featured Stories:
Peninah Nalubega: Documented the reality of Uganda’s education system in the rural setting.
Sheilla Clara Apio: She not only found her passion for sports photography but will also become a trainer with Cameras For Girls in 2025.
Mercy Grace Kyomuhendo: Recognizing the colossal issue of garbage littering the streets and waterways in Kampala, she took her camera to the streets to document the growing program.
How Photography Creates Change
A camera can be a life-altering tool. It provides a means to:
Share perspectives: Giving individuals the ability to tell their own stories in ways that resonate far beyond words.
Preserve memories: Ensuring that cultural and personal histories are documented and celebrated.
Open new doors: Many of our students have gone on to pursue careers or build businesses centered around their photography.
A Celebration of Growth and Creativity
This year’s gallery is just the beginning. The stories of these 21 students represent the journeys of countless others who are building skills, exploring their creative potential, and finding ways to use photography to achieve their goals.
In the future, we aim to expand this initiative, showcasing more of the incredible work being done and ensuring even more voices have a platform to be seen and heard.
Be Part of the Story
We invite you to experience this gallery and the incredible work of these women. Their stories, told through their lenses, remind us of the power of creativity, hard work, and determination to drive change and inspire others.
This gallery isn’t just about photography—it’s about what happens when someone is given the opportunity to grow, thrive, and make their mark on the world.
