Changing worlds with photography.
Young 1ove - Botswana - Photographer Ron B. Wilson
Donors like you have helped photographers fundraise 100% of project-related costs since 2014!
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.
About Ron:
After spending the past 15 years working with some of the best and busiest wedding photography studios in the U.S. and photographing over 500 weddings around the globe, Ron B. Wilson has reconnected with his true passions: Photojournalism, travel, and fine-art photography. So working with non-profit organizations such as Photographers Without Borders is a natural process and has been a work in progress for the past 20 years.

ABOUT Young 1ove:
Our mission is to connect young Africans to proven life-saving information. We do this by massively scaling sexual health information campaigns shown in randomized trials to have major impact. We don't invent new ideas. We figure out how to scale ones that have already worked. We want to reach 1 million youth in Southern Africa by 2020.
We believe proven health and education needs to be taught by youth for youth. You can't send old officials to teach kids about sex and stigmatized topics. It doesn't work. It's not relatable. It's boring. It doesn't have impact. We make sure the messages we pick up - the ones research has shown work -- also get delivered in a way our target audience deserves: by youth for youth.
**Each of our official photographers/videographers is assigned a GroupRev fundraising page by PWB upon acceptance.

Photographers Without Borders® (PWB) envisions a world where we all put ourselves in each others' shoes and work together.
