Africa

These photographs were shot in Uganda, where my family spent two months living and working in remote communities, and overseeing our many charity projects to help those who are less fortunate. Although these images are not available for purchase, I thought you may find them of interest.

I founded Treasures of Africa, a non-profit foundation, in 2005, with the primary goal of helping vulnerable children in Africa, in particular those who have become orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. We supply much needed food, clothing, bedding, shelter, and livestock to vulnerable orphaned children and destitute families, and ensure that all of our supported children are enrolled in school, with the cost of all books, fees, uniforms, and other personal necessities covered. We provide suitable land for farming, and offer interest-free micro-financing to those wishing to start a small business to better support their families.

We also partner with KIDA, (Kitojo Integrated Development Association) and together with them, are working at ways to help the HIV/AIDS infected and affected, enabling these patients to not only live a longer life, but to enjoy a much better quality of life than they could otherwise expect with this terrible disease.
