Give a Child a Camera
“Amazing things happen when you give a child a camera”
Empowering children in East Africa to form interesting, emotional and moving pictorial versions of their life
The Project
Setup in 2015 by Julian Claxton, Give a Child a Camera empowers young Ugandan children to tell a story of their life through photography.
Providing an extra curricular activity, the project delivers on its mission statement to provide an uplifting, interesting, fun and educational programme
Designed to build confidence & independence, the activities allow the young people to express their feelings, adding to their knowledge and providing the potential to move towards a career in photography or the arts.
Photographer / Project Lead
Award-winning photographer, Julian Claxton is the project organiser and main lead on all projects.
Julian fell in love with Africa in 2012, when he cycled 5500+ miles in 64 days from the UK to Rwanda. A journey which changed the life of the Suffolk Photographer and ultimately led to the birth of Give a Child a Camera.
