Cameras For Girls’ mission is to address poverty and gender inequality in Africa. We do this by teaching photography and business skills to females endeavouring to become journalists.

Would it surprise you to learn that females cannot enter the workforce as journalists unless they own a camera or know how to use it? Cameras For Girls solves this problem with our 4-phase photography and business skills training program. We partner with local universities in Uganda to help us recruit our students.
