The HeART of a Woman Project (THOAW) is a passion project founded by Canadian professional photographer Andrea Rees that partners with non-profit organizations and community projects that work to benefit women (15 years & older) in communities impacted by poverty.
In Khayelitsha, South Africa
THOAW partnered with eKhaya eKasi Art & Education Centre, a non-profit organization in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa, at various times from November 2013 to November 2019.
THOAW provided 30+ donated previously owned iPhones, accessories, hands-on education in photography, social media and produced postcards for the original 9 participants. THOAW provided mentorship at various times over the years on location and from its base in Canada.
The workshops in 2013 and 2014 were funded through donations and self-funded. One hundred percent of donations, sponsorships and proceeds from postcard sales have gone back into THOAW.
More About The Heart of a Woman Project
THOAW is a passion project for Andrea and does not receive funding. iPhones are received from generous donors in the USA and Canada. All travel and non-travel related expenses are self-funded. Andrea provides her time, efforts, and energy on a volunteer basis.
