How do you choose the places you go?
The places are chosen by the workshop leaders in consultation with Kids With Cameras. Most often the workshop leader has strong ties and access to a particular community before starting a workshop.

Where is KWC based?

What happens after a workshop?
KWC is dedicated to the children we work with, and we aim to directly support their development and growth past the workshops. We share their stories and raise money for their education and well-being by exhibiting their photos and selling their prints. We also extend our work to educate children in the U.S. and around the world through our curriculum guide. Our special project to further contribute to the children of Calcutta's red-light district is the development of a home that promotes holistic living and growth.
