FOTOKIDS
GRADUATES
Ours is an integrated project focused on breaking the cycle of poverty. Fotokids requires that all of our students attend school and provides full and partial scholarships (dependent on academic achievement) most of whom could not otherwise afford to study past the sixth grade. This year we have 5 students studying at the university level and 12 have graduated, a significant accomplishment for our young people despite neighborhood pressure to work or have children.
