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.

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

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
