Through this blog post, we will explore how providing cameras to African women has given them a platform to express themselves, share their stories, and be empowered to use their voices.

We'll look at what exactly women's empowerment means, how it impacts women, and why it's so important to support and fight for it.

Vivian Nantambi took our 3-day photography workshop in 2019, followed by our year-long online training, and built her career as an Executive Director of a non-profit called The Network Girls Tech Initiative Uganda.

Any developing nation striving towards improving the lives of its female population would benefit significantly from adopting appropriate means that ensure female empowerment and skills development.

Female journalists in developing countries often make 60 percent less than men with the same skill sets.

Female empowerment has been a topic of conversation among world leaders, the private sector, philanthropists, and the media.

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. 

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.

Empowering females is crucial in a world that stills struggles with gender inequality. Empowering our female students with photography and business skills enables her to fight for her rights for a job and be paid as equally as possible to her male counterpart. The pay gap amounts to a 17% difference, which tells us there is still much work to do in this area.
