Exciting Opportunity for Mauritian Women in Photography

Thanks to the generosity of Cameras For Girls, women in Mauritius can now access free online training, join a global WhatsApp community, and take part in live sessions every Friday.

Who is Cameras For Girls?

Cameras For Girls is a Canadian charity, whose mission it is to give a camera and a year-long training program, to African women, seeking to find work in the male-dominated media spaces. To date, they have trained 189 women in Uganda and Tanzania, with 80% of them securing paid work in media and NGO spaces in journalism, photographers, communications, PR, and digital media. While their year-long programs are only for women in East Africa at this time, they are happy to provide free training via their Online Learning Hub to any woman, anywhere, who is seeking support to learn about photography, ethical storytelling, as well as crucial business skills, such as building their LinkedIn profiles, their CV’s, business plans, etc. They also provide sessions to support you with your mental health, through their partners in the global space.
