2019
There are charities working to help people climb out of poverty across the world that not many of us hear about. Organisations helping communities receive education, safe water, healthcare and livelihood support whose work can go unnoticed if we don’t document it. People whose stories of resilience, transformation and hope are left untold if we don’t share them with you.
We have been Taking Pictures and Changing Lives by raising awareness and funds for charities for 10 years. 2019 marked our 10th anniversary giving us a great reason to celebrate. But the real reasons for celebration are the larger the ever number of charities we’re working with. Our growing team of local photographers; the huge amount of money raised to help people living in poverty and the incredible people we’ve met in 2019.
Join the celebrations with the highlights of 2019 and see the impact Taking Pictures, Changing Lives is having across the world.
