Empowering tribal communities by “passing the cameras”
“The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera”
-Yousuf Karsh
Supporting tribal communities with modern tools to preserve timeless wisdom and beauty.
Our mission is to place cameras and film equipment into the hands of tribal communities to enhance the ability to tell stories of cultures, ways of life, and the environments stewarded, from the indigenous perspective.
Join us for an excursion at our one-of-a-kind safari camp experience!
Join Maasai community members, photographers, and film educators for a documented excursion through Magical Kenya, led by the locals who know it best.
Donate Materials for Education & Documentation
We are collecting cameras, film equipment, and educational materials for our photography and film camp in Kenya where we will be dispersing equipment to tribal hands and training them on how to use it.
Your donations help teachers make their classrooms engaging and successful, and allow students to have equipment to pursue a career after program completion.
Apply to teach at our Film & Photography training camp.
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Diversity in our teachers helps ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning through different approaches, skills, and experiences our teachers have to offer.
We host guest teachers weekly!
And yes, you can bring a friend!
