Changing worlds with photography.

Kailend, Togo - Megan Peterson

Hello, friends and family!

I have been selected to go to Africa and use my photography skills to help out a great NGO called Kailend. Since 2013, this NGO’s mission is to contribute to educating people from impoverished African communities. This NGO’s emphasis is on education, engagement and empowerment in local communities, and always with sustainability in mind. I will be stationed in Lome, Togo in western Africa. I am beyond excited to travel, educate, photograph and learn about this beautiful world we live in. Most of all, I can't wait to help others, especially youth. Those of you who know me can always recognize my passion for working with children through the use of sports, outdoors and fitness. This will be such a great opportunity for me to do so in a country that needs our help. Thank you, so much, for giving to this cause and please contact me with any questions, advice or just to say hello! Please read the excerpt from PWB below for more information and how you can help make a difference!

As a THANK YOU, I will be giving those who donate a 5x7 print of my work done for this project in Africa! I appreciate your support!

Every year, our photographers and videographers donate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their time to document the work of grassroots initiatives that are making a real change in this world where it is most needed. By capturing, honoring and witnessing humanity at its best, we are not only inspiring many, but we are forging new narratives of what is and what is possible. 

You can help by supporting our photographers and videographers (See the side bar to the right to see fundraisers for our most recent recruits).

Each of our official photographers/videographers is assigned a GroupRev fundraising page by PWB upon acceptance. These pages are a privilege we offer that are intended to make our programs accessible to all and enable our volunteer photographers/videographers to subsidize or cover these necessary project-related expenses:

• Airfare
• Visa's
• Vaccinations
• Health Insurance
• Travel Insurance

The following expenses are the sole responsibility of the photographer/videographer:

• Privately arranged travel
• Equipment & Equipment Insurance
• Software
• Extra Baggage Fees
• Donation perks
• Clothing
• Postage/Postcard/Prints
• Etc.

Photographers Without Borders® (PWB) envisions a world where we all put ourselves in each others' shoes and work together. Our mission is to inform and inspire positive change by visually communicating the ways that grassroots initiatives are addressing problems in their communities. PWB is registered as a charity in the United States with 501(c)(3) status and is registered as a not-for-profit organization in Canada. All donations are calculated in US Dollars and are tax-deductible for Americans and Canadians with US income.

PWB is not responsible for any donations made outside of these pages.

Any overage amounts raised on GroupRev will be donated with the photographers direction, 100% to the Organization, 100% to PWB or split 50/50, between the photographer's/videographer's assigned cause and PWB, which is also a volunteer-run organization.
