We are a non-profit organisation that work with disadvantaged communities to create workshops, exhibitions and events that give pride to the children and their community and give the audience the chance to see the community through their perspective. We are currently working with a group of children in a low income community (favela) in Rio de Janeiro, through bi weekly photographic and film classes the children are encouraged to produce new and unique visions of their community. They are finding new ways to express themselves whilst learning new skills which enables them to gain knowledge and grow in confidence.

We are currently organising two final exhibitions to showcase the kids photography. One exhibition will take place in their own community and another will be held in the center of Rio de Janeiro. The aim of these exhibitions is to give the children a sense of pride in their work and their community and show them how powerful their images can be. Through the exhibition we also hope to invite the audience into the childrens community and share with them a true vision of the favela as seen through the childrens eyes.

Throughout the project the children have grown from strength to strength and continue to amaze us with incredible photography. Your donation will help us realize this project and give the children a chance not only to showcase their work but also to show a true positive side to their community.
