Mission: To educate women impacted by poverty, in photography, mobile technology and social media. It aims to empower, have a voice and create sustainable income and small business through the sales of their photographic art products.
The pilot project was implemented at eKhaya eKasi, a non profit Art & Education centre in Khayelitsha, South Africa in November 2013. Learn more about the story here.
This project is made possible through fiscal donations, iPhone donations, sponsorships and photographic art products sales. It relies on the interests and good will of businesses and individuals who recognize the importance of ‘a hand up, not a hand out’ approach to transfer skills and empower women in less economically developed communities to provide for themselves and their children.
We invite you to become a part of this initiative by joining the Corporate Sponsorship or Sponsor a Participant programs. Connect with Andrea if you’d like to align your company with The heART of a Woman Project that uses technology and photography.
