Shine on Me
Shine on Me
Orphan’s Club is a nonprofit serving 150 children in Tororo, Uganda. Each child has lost a parent, or both parents, to HIV and AIDS. We saw that it would be possible to influence the local community through drama, songs, and poems, instilling faith and hope. Such activities help the children to express themselves freely and fluently. Most of them are bright and hardworking but couldn’t afford scholastic materials, uniforms, fees and had generally lost hope of a bright future. Orphan’s Club gives care and support to these orphans and supports the community as well.
These photographs invite you to dive into the fabric of joy and beauty in a way we don’t have access to in this region. They’re the counterbalance to the narrative of pure despair. These images are captured through the lens of positivity over pity, from the natural world and human one. They summon you to engage your senses in beauty and celebration of what a little bit of nourishment, support, and acknowledgment can do for communities that are underserved. In spite of their circumstance, and because of their circumstance, these children generate joy. The photographs are a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition series taken exclusively for Orphan’s Club. From an expedition of sorts, in order to get to know these children and get to know the region.
This is an exclusive expression of the children, the value of being seen, and the value of bringing creativity and craft in concert with need. Our hope is when you have these photographs on your wall, you will remember all that is good. Our dream with this campaign is to ensure that every child has clean water, food, medical care, tuition fees, and the complete building of our school. This is an opportunity to buy a beautiful archival print and support endangered animals at the same time. 75% of all profits go to the Orphan’s Club in Tororo, Uganda. All prints are signed.
