Amina Mohamed of "Cameras for Girls" joined me at the table to share about her journey back home to Uganda and how she is helping to elevate the girls in her community while also providing an amazing experience for travelers. I could spend all day just chatting with Amina and listening to all of her goodness.

Pay it forward: Unlike other photo-tours, we have a philanthropic angle to ours. Every year when we operate our photo-tour to Uganda, we carve out 3 days to teach photography and business skills to girls and women studying journalism in Uganda. We raise funds and collect new and used point & shoot camera’s for the girls and teach them to use the camera to tell stories that matter to them. This tool helps the girls learn a new skill, advance in their journalism careers, improve their options and change their lives.
HOW DOES IT WORK? When you book your trip with Triple F Photo Tours, a portion of the travel cost goes directly back to supporting this program, purchasing the cameras, and the girls' throughout the photography training program. You get to see the direct impact of the money you spend, and you get to change the life of a girl in a developing world by allowing her to find full-time work in the journalism industry. Not only does she support herself, but she supports her family and community as well.
