How Can I Help?

"let photography empower change"


100cameras is a nonprofit that uses creativity for a greater cause by giving cameras to children in underprivileged areas around the world—from the streets of Manhattan to the dusty roads of Africa. Each child is instructed to capture what life looks like through their eyes. Their photos are then sold online or at 100cameras events, with all proceeds going to improve the quality of life and create opportunities for the children. By teaming up with various organizations, 100cameras can meet their greatest needs, whether that be providing food or improving literacy.

this is how it works.
it's simple, really.
we give a camera to jackson.
jackson snaps a photo.
then you buy his photo.
your money goes back to jackson.
and jackson is empowered.
