We believe in the power of photography. The power to inspire, the power to connect, and the power to do good. That’s why we created Penda Trust, a nonprofit organization that uses photography as a tool for generating awareness of important causes.

THE ISSUE

Many nonprofits don’t have the tools to tell their story and reach potential donors. Grassroots community-based organizations are well-positioned to do impactful social impact work. But many are operating at an unsustainable level, as they lack the resources and know-how to reach and engage a large enough donor base.

OUR MISSION

We support grassroots nonprofits by providing them with high level images, as well as the ability within their team to produce strong content on an ongoing basis.

The importance for a nonprofit to showcase their work should not be undervalued. It’s visual storytelling that turns people into donors and spreads awareness. This is why we offer nonprofits the following;

  • We provide authentic high-quality photographs for reports, funding proposals, websites and social media. Our professional photographers create a comprehensive image bank that allows a nonprofit to showcase its work, raise awareness and increase funding and sustainability.
  • We donate cameras – or smart phones with good cameras – to nonprofits, so that they can continue to document their projects.
  • We provide training to key team members or field workers on how to take better images, tell stories and build their audience and donors.

By joining one of our trips, you’re indirectly helping us achieve these goals, as Penda Photo Tours funds the running costs of Penda Trust.
